I haven't put any in my '82 yet, but plan to once I've finished with more
pressing problems. On my '75, though, I bolted them to the inner sides of
the seat pedestals.  This still left enough aisle space to walk through.
The swivel bases on the Vanagon may make this too much of a reach.  My
other thought is to fasten them to the plastic heater duct cover, one on
each side of the shifter.
