Howard, Funny. Make sure the wallet outside storage box will also hold watches, and cell phones too?

For anyone interested, magnets worked reasonably well. Lots of strength in some of the rare earth jobs if two are used together. Downside is they are brittle & needed extra structural and mount protection. Just placing one in the existing cushion hole was a no go. Since I had to make a support anyway plus the mu metal shielding that would be needed to try and minimize any stray field, decided to go a different way. With the new direction, I also wouldn't need to hang a magsafe box on the outside.
Since I didn't find the exact size of the original catch or want to buy a multitude if I could have found them, made my own. Slightly different configuration as you see but does the job. Only have one catch on now but working on another as the back is heavy and will need it. Will also use a urethane material to cast new cushions with a different center to accommodate the new configuration and space available. Like all my mods, rest assured that other than two discreet hidden holes, no Packards were harmed. By removing the catch & pin and replacing the original bumper, no one will know.
