Rally Preparation (Pelican/Storm Case Lid Organizer)

I've finally caught up on my work and have started fixing my bike up for the rally season. There are several items I've done. This will be the first post of several more.

I got this idea from one of my customers and decided to implement it.

This is a lid organizer for a Pelican/Storm iM2500 case. Well, maybe not so much an organizer, as a laptop holder.
It is constructed of aluminum sheet, piano hinge, and some neat little latches I got from Pegasus Auto Racing Supplies.

The tacky weather stripping is to keep the laptop from bouncing. The laptop is held in place with velcro (I love this stuff).


The laptop can be used in place.

I plan on affixing some pen/pencil holders to the inside and a document holder to the outside. This is a trial and error design method.

I'll be testing it out with some road work and then the big test will be the 54 hour Heart of Texas Rally coming up in 3 weeks.
