Seat mod to accomodate tire irons

I was looking to see where I could fit a couple tire irons and a spare tube on my bike and I decided to take a look under the seat.

As you know, the front part of the seat is indeed part of the air intake. The second part (behind the filter) is divided by a sturdy plastic divider which secures the seat onto the frame.

My idea is that it could be possible to careful carve through this divider to then insert a couple tire irons.

To make them fit nicely so that they don't travel much, I thought I could wrap them into a shop rag, which could prove useful on the trail. Another idea would be to secure them with some type of rubber band stapled to the inside.

I wonder if that could be tried and if it would not clog the air intake (in which case I can drill two holes in the plastic divider). Two tire irons are slim and I can fit the tube somewhere else.

What's your opinion?

Ok, I'll let you know when I do a Hare race

Right now I don't take anything on the trail, except for slime in the tires and CO2.

So far I have been lucky but who knows...

I am looking for that tool that let's you fish for the valve and also for these little delrin locks that you put over the rim to prevent the tire to pop out... Berger had some... Found them on eBay I think...

Yes I also intend to remove the foam and to install a air dryer connected to the battery for extra air.

You think it would work?
