I have built my center console myself, and i secured it in two ways: 1. It sits firmly under the dashboard with its front edge. 2. I have two holes in the sidewalls where the seatbelt screws go through. One screw for the belts and the console. You can have a look at it on http://www.vwbus-online.de/feussner/konsolfot.htm Raimund ----- Original Message ----- From: "Loren A.
