Where is this thing supposed to go?!?

I picked this up while at the dealer for service (it's the 'emergency assistance kit', and there's no instructions as to how you're to mount it w/ the supplied Dstrap-thingie. Pictures to illustrate my solution so far:

I'm not so sure that there is a designated space for mounting that, but I could be wrong.

 

[38vn38fa]

ideas on where to put it are appreciated; I'm tired of it rolling around, and I'm not sure what I've strapped it to is the best

Hot glue a Velcro strip to it and fasten it to the fender well.

doesn't fit under the seat, it's too thick. The FAK however fits perfectly under the RR passanger's seat. I'm thinking of cutting through some plastic and making an attachment point for the d clamps...
