I didn't use them on my Nomad either. The original location was under the cargo floor, below a sheet metal brace that extended below the floor and over the left and right frame rails. I think it was...

Don't you think you should be driving it soon anyway (without the...

Great to see another 9 passenger wagon coming back to life! Bring it on...
Pics would be great as you progress along.

Hence my frustration with working with it. I'll get some thinner stuff to build the interior upholstered underpieces from.

Fantastic update Richard. What do you use on the inner side of the firewall for heat and sound deadening...the same Hushmat?

Great writeup and feedback here Mike. Encouraging to see how simple the swap can be, and your EFI vendor helping out with the remote tuning.
