Due to the lack of stowage in the WC56/57 vehicles what a couple of us have done here is to install a conventional 12V battery in one corner of the compartment and make up a tool box to occupy the remaining space. This works quite well if originality is not a requirement but nobody knows unless you open the compartment.
