I can't have a tool tube on my bike, coz of the chav's where I live and work will nick the lot. So whilst out this morning at a coffee stop, I was thinking, how can I fit my tools in the topbox without them scratching my lid.
It came upon me in a flash, so I rushed home, dismantled an old computer and used part of the aluminium casing.
I measured the external length and width, then subtracted the topbox wall thickness X2, now I know the dimensions. I made a cardboard template of the corner angles and marked out the shape on my aluminium sheet.

After ten mins of judicious hacksawing I had the false bottom to my topbox. I lined the bottom of the box with rubber sheet to keep noise down.

Et Voila.
