Centre Seat Box

The Centre seat box fits between the inner wheel arches under the front bench seat. This panel has the hole in the top for the storage of the tool kit.

This particular panel changed frequently during the production years as the choke cable / heater cable was re-designed and re-located. For our van, there is a very specific 1952 only version, from chassis number 20-14685 through to 20-41711 was the type we have.

Luckily, the original centre section was included in the van when we bought it, but to say it was 'rough' was an understatement! It had been cut about and had a hole cut for a radio, so it needed a lot of work!


Here the tool box is now in place with all the wrong holes welded up and the bottom edge has been repaired. The tubes for the heater cables and the choke cable are now in line too.
