510 Wagon - Jack, Tool and Wheel Chock Storage

[qwik510]

Under the front passenger seat, there is a piece of metal that is not on the sedans. What is it for ?

 

It is not for the jack as that goes on the drivers side.

interesting... :confused:

mine is stock enough to say nothing was using it inside, other than a slit to hold the carpet.

 

whats external at that spot? (cant get under mine right now)

It's so the passenger can scrape mud off his boots.

I got a reply from a knowledgable wagon owner on the BB list.

 

It secures the wheel chocks in place.

Bluebirds email list has started up again? I miss it.

 

I can't picture how it secures wheel chocks ...

[qwik510]

Yes. There is a google email group.

 

Here is what he said

 

"That tab captures one end of the wheel chocks. The tool bag is held between the chocks and the seat rail. All is retained by a rubber strap about 4.5 inches long with a metal hoop on each end. The rubber strap hooks into the pair of tabs on the front of the seat rail. These too are wagon only. Sorry it's too dark put to get a pic tonight."

heh, I was going to guess that, but wasn't sure either

Hmmm.. wish the 710 had that set up. Mine roll around in the back.

Of all the people who have owned 510 wagons for who knows how long, none of us have seen one with the wheel chock s and a tool bag in it to know that that is where they go :lol:

i have mine under the back seat. its where i found em.

[Stupid_fast]

I have tire chocks and a stock jack... No tool bag though. 

 

 

What!!! All this time I was wondering what that strap was for !!! I always was annoyed there was no good place to store the chocks!  I'm going to put them in properly now.

I think I have finally gotten the correct info on the wagon jack and tool storage. I was hoping for better pics but you gotta take what you can get sometimes.

 

So from what I have seen and heard, the tools and the wheel chocks are stored on the passenger side under the front passenger seat. The hole in the seat riser is wide enough to get the tool bag in there and then the chocks sit over top of the tool bag and the edge of the chocks sit against the slanted metal tab under the seat. Then the rubber strap holds the chocks in place.

 

 

 

Dark picture because of carpet but it shows the tool bag in place.

 

 

 

 

The Jack goes under the front drivers seat and stows under the tab that is part of the seat riser.

 

 

The long tool bar that is used to lower the spare tire and raise and lower the jack, stores on the side of the drivers seat. There are two rubber clips that hold it in place but I am not sure how the rubber clips stay in place.

 

 

You can see the two rubber tabs in the picture above.

 

If anyone has better pics or more info, please add it to this thread.

This is cool David!  Are you working on the 2dr Wagon?? :thumbup:

wagon rod

2 different handles.

the one on the right(not stock?) has one handle and is a bit shorter. good for fast winding.
