Hey, since I've removed me bench seat out of The front, I now have a nice gap to fill with something, was thinking storage box, with drinks holders on top, maybe a firdge? I dunno yet wat to do and was wondering if any1 has done anything intersting there? Mine has a bulkhead in it, which the cooking unit is fixed too.

Something similar from VW Winkler

I have a Winkler repro. They only come in LHD fitment but can be easily adapted to RHD with a little GRP work.
And they are great because you can cut them to fit stereo gear, gauges, switches, cupholders and more in them.
I need the walkthru in my van so I will be using the shorter version instead. If you want one let me know first, might save you the cost of importing one and I have recessed cupholders to suit too.

Sorry, no pictures of it installed but it's a snug fit.
Here is a copy of the original ad:

For an alternative with more flexbility, I got a DAF truck console with cupholders and lockable box in the back.
It screws to the floor (though mine's fixed with velcro - like everything else).
Bit of a winner if you have, or may have, swivel seats at any point.
Chappie at British VW Festival had them....

I'm at work at the moment, but will do my best to get one tonight for tomorrow. They were £20 by the way. I've had look for pics online but can't find one.

Hi, I have the photos on my iPhone, but I think I need to set up an online photo thing in order to link to them - is that correct, I've never uploaded photos to here before.
I can't do that as I am at work and they seem to require a software download, therefore I will try to remedy this evening.
Alternatively I could email them to you in the meantime.

Get the photo bucket app If your using the iPhone, very easy to upload and use, then use the ^^^ img button, paste the link in-between. Simples :-/

Hi, thanks for the App update, works a treat.
See the pics below. The first one (if it's good enough quality) shows the part number and the anchor screw (1 of 3 such holes)
I hope it a: works, and b: is helpful
