This has me thinking of some other options. Thanks for sharing.

    Lowrod,
    Looking really good. I'm actually working on a similar cubby. I got the idea at the Huntington Beach Rally.

    I did similar on my old MkII but I left the 3/4x3/4 tube in place. You can't put as large a solid object in there but it works fine to throw in a folded up coat, hat etc.

    Coat/hat storage was the idea, I bent a length of 3/4 tubing to match the body arch. It was then welded just behind the body rolled edge of the rear cockpit. I plan on adding two metal plates to support driver and passenger seat belts.

    Love your cubby.

    I added a locking access panel to the Breeze cubby kit. While the door is a little small, it won't interefere with the seats.

    Where did you get the locking access panel?

    Thanks

    On line at Boat Outfitters.

    I removed the white tub to give me access to the Breeze cubby, although leaving it on gives you a nice small compartment. The tub comes off by removing a couple of screws.
