How to strap tools, books and fix-a-flat question

colamclean · May 17, 2018

I recently replaced my 575m trunk broken belt - the one used to hold the books, tool kit and fix-a-flat. Can someone describe or better-still, post a photo of how the items intended to be held in place by this belt should be placed?

I bought the replacement belt from Ricambi (part number 65123200, about $45). Drilled out the old rivets and installed the belt using 3/16” rivets of about 2/3” depth. Turned out beautifully. But, now I realize I don’t know how to properly place and belt the items into the trunk. Would appreciate help here! Thanks.

My trunk is as shown. I keep my front plate in the trunk in case I am stopped by po-po. My new year sticker is in glove box. I also have a battery charger that is in that stack. I do not believe the manual book was ever intended to be included in the wrap.

This is how my trunk was set up and I bought my car from a guy who probably never looked

I can break it down and show it, but it is not too complicated. Battery charger is below fix a flat

I used to try and keep my spare tag current with sticker. I gave up. In Virginia it is illegal to not run a front plate. Fortunately I have known each officer who has pulled me. Benefits of my profession.

Side note: I have never even tried to use the battery charger

Thanks fou. I thought the fix-a-flat should be belted in, did not know the manual should not be. Guess it makes sense it would be up front in the glovebox.
