Or you can use that space to smuggle illegal items! :-)
Thanks for all the input. I am going to leave it off for now so I can have
both areas blasted and painted since they're pretty rusty looking.
About my low tech "tryin' to get a nut" solution: It's funny to me how many
of you (more than a few) emailed saying you thought that would work but
didn't want to offer it up for fear of being too, I'll say, low tech. For
me, I don't care as long as it really works! The lower tech the better.
Just an amusing thought. :-)

It attaches at the bottom with two sheet metal screws into
flanges
welded to the floor. The flanges have u-shaped sheet metal
"nuts"
(don't know what else to call them). The bumpers Jay refers
to simply
rest against the firewall and there is no attachment at the
top. The
carpet snaps to the footrest near the top (there should be 2
male snaps
on the plate) and is not glued. There's a lot of space
behind the
footrest and it's a very convenient place to mount a CD
changer or an
amp if you have a stereo.
