well, that's the short terse answer.

The two version vans use the very same hole location in the firewall for
where the wires come though.
and ..........just flip it , or move it however you can so it fits under the
rear seat.
I often cut a small piece out of the wooden 'end piece' so it'll clear the
wires better........
like with a saber saw I cut out a curved one inch by 3 inch
section...........so it'll clear the wires there better.
I'm always making things opptimised for working on them. - like this'll come
in handly if troubleshooting on the ECU wiring harness or when you put a
Subaru ECU and wiring harness in there !
