Jim -

I installed the BB Side Step on my Westy in 1997 without any of the
problems (angle grinding) encountered on your Bay, but the jackpoints on
the Vanagon are a bit bigger.  Used it for a number years and removed it to
do some undercarriage work.  While off, someone stole that damn thing :(
 Maybe someday I will get another.
