Reply to "Round molded tool/socket cases?"

I haven't seen exactly what you're looking for, but Mercedes and VW had spare tire tool boxes. You might check your local wrecking yard or ebay for a Mercedes box, or you can order a reproduction VW box to cut up and create your own molded socket/ratchet insert. These boxes were used in Porsche 356's as well.

Frankly, it just looks like a styrofoam insert. I imagine you could go down to TAP Plastics and pick up some kind of foam/polyurethane molding kit and make your own insert (pour into a cake pan of the right diameter, cover with plastic wrap, and start sticking your sockets and ratchets in any layout you desire).

The Hyundai Elantra uses a molded spare tire insert to hold the jack and associated tools. Again, carve it out and make your own insert. $239 new - ebay or your local wrecking yard would be the place to start.

Saab had a similar molded spare tire insert for their jack and tools as well - this one was for sale for $40 on a Saab forum a few years ago.


Looks like the Honda Civic Si had a similar spare tire molded jack & tool kit.
