Loren,

I installed mine with the curved cover plate facing up on the closest
to center sidewall of the underseat compartment. This places the
terminals at the side if the device. Unless you store loose tools
under there it shouldn't be a problem. BTW I found two perfectly
spaced pre-drilled holes on that sidewall to mount the 1315 using
machine screws.

I can send you a pic of the installation if my description was inadequate.

Good luck,
John Meeks
