Hi,
My front seats are 2 + 1, i.e. an individual drivers seat and a two-seat bench.

1. Under the bench part is a good-sized area for tools, tyres etc., but nothing to prevent these flying forward in a sudden stop; does anyone know what *should* be there originally, it looks like there are holes for some sort of nifty cover. [photos would be appreciated]

2. Where was the spare originally stored in a dual-cab? I';ve got two spare wheels stuffed into the treasure chest, but no sign of hold-downs etc.

3. In the same area, the front seat support area is covered in a bubble-finish kind of rubber; is this standard? Does anyone know were to source it? Is carpet a better option? Are there carpet kits? (i.e. was the Microbus or some other variant carpeted?)

Thanks in anticipation.

Thanks Travis,
Are there any closures/fittings to hold the spare in place?
Regards,

I've got mine just sittin under the double pass seat. It is usually with the outside down so as I can store nicks a nd knacks in the wheel. I have never attempted to lock it in. It is so hard to get out, if I was in a prang where it came loose I would be in big trouble anyway!

no holes dude just sits there wedged party under seat sourounded by empties

the spare tyre area should be fully enclosed, so nothing should come out. Just put a piece of thick carpet to stop any rattles you are going to get with tools etc. I cant fit any of my spares in there, so it's full of a lot of other stuff.
