Subject:      What's Under the Tunnel??
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

I'm trying to mount a center console in my '90 Westy.  It need to be
securely tied down (learned that lesson when I rolled my '85 last
November). Immediate temptation is to drill and put in screws, but I
don't know exactly what is directly under the space between the front
seats.  I'm not in a situation where I can get the Westy up on a rack
and look, weather such here in Seattle area that I don't look forward to
crawling under, and Bently doesn't help.  The area between the seats
appears to be a raised tunnel, not the actuall bottom of the body.  I
know that there are cooling pipes and a bunch of other stuff in the
general area, but don't know if there is a dead space between the floor
in the cab and the actual bottom of the van.  I hope that one of you
with the more intimate knowledge of that area of the Vanagon can tell me
either DON'T DRILL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES or it's OK or something in
between.  If anyone has a better way of securing a center console
between the seats I'd appreciate that info also.
