that's fine.
are you concerend about inverting the Ecu ?

just want a temp-stable, dust free, moisture, free location for it, ( which means in the cabin ) 
and easy access for troubleshooting.

  Spoken like a true teacher Scott.  More is better in things like this.  More: Flip it upside down?  I'm wrestling with the same decision on me '86.

  I do like Chris' idea better, at first glance.

    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 !

        I am in the process of converting my 87 syncro into a
        westfalia clone. I am well into the project and ready
        to start the cabinet installs. My question is What to
        do about the engine computer under the rear seat ? It
        hits the water tank in its current location. Did the
        Syncro Westies have a different water tank ?

      move it over.
