Fitting s197 under-trunk lid Roush tool-kit to s550

[RDS]

Hello all

Niche question here - who knows if it is the correct section though.....: one of my prized accessories on my old s197 was a Roush toolkit that was attached to the underside of the trunk/boot lid. The s197 has gone but the toolkit remains. Anyone figured out a neat installation on the underside of the s550 trunk? The s197 fitting was clever because the location plates wedged between the boot lid strengthening webs and the boot lid did not have a carpet liner, so all was easy.

The web spacing is different for the s550 (which has a liner) of course and using random bracketry will ruin the effect. At the moment the toolkit is just resting on the weak cardboard boot floor (what a penny-pinching load of rubbish that is).

Solutions welcome....!

Thanks
RDS

I know what you're trying to do, but it's (2) different trunk kits and structural design as you have found out.

I would list the S197 kit for sale; you can get really good $$$ for it and use that to offset the cost of a brand new S550 Roush tool kit:

many thanks: same contents in the old as in the new Kit!! looks like just the lid has changed; ie the mounting holes and brackets.

Yea, I would pop that S197 kit over on the S197 forum, FB marketplace if you're a member of FB or on eBay. You can easily get a good solid $400 for it, especially if you have all of the parts and it's not damaged.

Good luck! If you do get the S550 kit, do an install/write up here too.

yes mine is totally unused! I may see what I can fabricate, time permitting.
