Frank, can you please take a couple of photos so we can "see" the finished product?

I have wanted to do this for a while (cut my own seat, not steal your
laptop) but have been hesitant because I was afraid of cutting in the wrong
place. Do you have a template or a picture showing exactly where to cut? I'v
also heard of some people using a glove box lock to lock the compartment.
I'd like to do this on both sides of both of my vans.

Ed, if you can wait until Westys at Watkins I will show you what to do.
I've done this on my Westy before going of the Mexico last winter. Used no lock
as my version looks like nothing has changed when your done so no one will
suspect there is storage there unless you do a show & tell !
