As to the CD changer idea, ditto on that. I put my electronic points box
in there as well as my OD relay. I figured its less cluttered that way and
drier and more temperate (or is that like being more pregnant?). I suppose
there could be a concern because there is less flow of air in there to cool
the box - but with no empirical data whatsoever, I'm going to leave it
there assuming that it probably does just fine.

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.
