Like the rest of the floors, the spare well was littered with cut zip-ties, wires, screws, nuts, & bolts. I'll probably remove the floor-stiffening impact brace, and look for a factory jack & lug wrench.

In the rear door panels of a PIU, there are no pockets, so only the round LED was added to a new hole drilled in the handle well. Since there are no lock switches, these are soldered to the window switches (which have been re-activated).

These caps are sold for Ford Transit Connect van roofs, so I thought they'd be good here. Unfortunately, they're much smaller than I expected. But with a generous bead of UltraBlack, they cover 4 of the 5 holes.
