hump pack question

[tazzman68]

just got a hump-pack for my savvy and the first question I have, is do I leave it loose in there, or should I cut a little foam block to stick in there to hold it in place?

I put in two sided tape when I had the stock radio box. Worked well. Foam would be a nice idea to keep it from rattling around and scuffing the cover.

my only concern was that I see alot of peeps saying their packs get hot, and foam rubber is an insulator. So maybe I try it, and if it gets to hot I will use tape or Velcro instead.

Velcro is a good idea, occasionally water gets into my radio box under batteries causing corrosion.

I use 3M outdoor permanent two sided tape. The sweet thing about it is it comes right off and won't leave any glue behind. It may come off easy but believe me it will hold forever!

This is the stuff for visual reference, you can get smaller rolls at Wally World (Walmart) or any where else. It's about $5-6.

I had an extra one of these.http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_...&+Tool+Storage&sName=Tool+Storage+Accessories

I glued the pieces on the side. I cut a piece for the bottom but did not glue it so I could access the steering post screws. Hump fits in there nice and snug and have not had a heat problem. I can post pics if you like.

I had a piece of dense foam rubber that was a battery block in my buggy, I trimmed it to fit in one end of the battery box, and it only really touches the end of one cell, and fits snug. I am going bashing this weekend, and will keep an eye on it's temp then.

I just leave it set in there.. Probably not the best idea .. But It works for me

Getcha some of the 3M stuff, you'll thank me later.

ya mine is just sitting in there as well, not a huge amount of room for it to bounce around so i haven't worried about it!! lol
