FWIW -- there are a couple of notches in the top of the back wall of the box itself -- or a notch and a hook, I forget. Firmly stuck into the top of the steel beam forward of each notch is a molded plastic stalk, very flexible, about 1/8" diameter with a couple little balls molded at the end (or a couple balls on one and a squared hole on the other, maybe) that snap into the appropriate places on the box. Works great, except that they didn't make enough stress relief at the attachment base so the stalk fatigues and breaks off where it exits the base. Apparently the (mean-time-to-failure plus VW engineering reaction time) is about six years... david -- David Beierl - Providence, RI http://pws.prserv.net/synergy/Vanagon/ '84 Westy "Dutiful Passage" '85 GL "Poor Relation" |
