yeah, you're probably right about not much time savings. Scratch one more brilliant idea :) not completely sold on welding in the brackets... but close :) rear cabinet needing shortening? not quite sure what you mean. I have A/C unit where overhead cabinet to be installed (with filler piece to match ceiling curve), was hoping to use A/C mounting holes. One thing though, rear seat/bed, brackets screw down on engine deck. No holes visible on passenger van. I can't recall if it is sheet metal screws or machine screws that are used. If later need to pop in a riv nut? any more tips Craig? alistair

I went with the welded brackets on the floor, though some have suggested some alternatives. I plan to install a westfalia interior into a syncro in the near future and plan to do it the same way. The actual act of cutting them out and having them welded in didn't take much effort and now it's done and "right". You're destined to find other interesting problems with putting a westy interior in the passanger van..... such as the rear cabinet having to be shortened and no "real" solution to hanging the overhead cabinet...... For more tips on westfalia interior install, start a fresh thread and I will gladly chime in (as may others that have done it as well). -Craig '85GL turned WESTY BOSTIG in the back |
