Ahh! Thanks, that's what I thought might be happening. However to get to said nut on a Campmobile passenger side requires removing icebox unit.

Not worth that, unless you are replacing it. I'm sure the part number is the same. |

It is actually my infrared thermometer gun's holster. Driver's side only.

If an Officer pulls you over and sees the gun behind the seat. He may shoot you by accident. His bad but you're still dead.
Just a thought

I worked at a VW dealership in the mid '70s and got a few busses ready for delivery. Definitely... for holding the tool pouch.

Do you remember seeing anything in the strap on the right (passengers us) side?
Thank You for the info.

No, I don't even recall ever seeing one on the passenger side before this thread.

| I remember recently having a discussion about the drivers side strap. I was told is for holding: compactable-folding emergency road triangles. Not sure on how many. I will try to find out more this summer if I see the individual a vw show this year. |

Was the tool pouch stowed there until it was moved to under the passengers seat?
Could it have been a travel kit? Something like this.
Thank you

Mine has been replaced by a nylon bungeeee cord It holds my small table in my westy behind the seat. Think that's there where they originally stored. You know...the table that has the small pole and attaches below the ashtray and ebrake handle. Two slots attached to dash.

TCash..after reading your reply, I had to go out to my 1970 Westy and check, the metal strap under the passenger seat holds the jack and handle and in a lot of cases people often placed the tool kit there, however there is no real way to secure it there. I still think it belongs behind the driver's seat for ease of access. And in response to your question, No.. in my experience
I have not seen anything like that stored there. I have a vintage aftermarket
reflective triangle in a yellow plastic box that is much too large and heavy to be placed in that strap.

This is in the 1970 owners manual same for 71. Is this a picture of an older model?
What year did the tool pouch move behind the seat?
Thank you very much for your time!

No worries, memories aren't what they used to be.
It's not to say that when the vehicles where shipped the tool pouch was not stowed there.
Thank You
