My first thought was you'll want to put it under the passengers seat .......... Something similar to what I've come across several times and a version of what's in my van for Doccy's & Passports ETC..............

But this is a much bigger deal than that from my investigations.............
Is this the one that sits on a sort of subframe so you can move it and conents to the Job ETC ?..................

I'd say where in the van is it best suited to you..........
Access to contents ........Being able to load van and work around it easily (As if it never going to get in the way)

If for example Across bulkhead was your chosen spot........
Measure size of box.......... Mark out on floor where mounting points are and move underneath/transfer measurements below check for fuel,  brake pipes-wiring {even fuel tank} ETC and your not drilling into a box section that you can't get Access too.............
(Maybe a very small pilot dril hole in first instance just incase before big main hole)

Other than that I'm not sure that there is any hard N fast rules/driling points that suits everyone and working needs ...........

I'm afraid I don't have images to share or dimensions..... ( A quick Google maybe)
Just make sure you can open and gain access too lid in situe or release fittings if located on a subframe without loosing too much valuable space ..........

When looking/measuring underneath use as many reference points as possable inc counting ribs on floor for a guide/ idea where  mounting is going as it's all to easy  for a silly cocky mistake when floor above is clear and open

Sorry ...I know it's not quite what your asking but it's a bit like building a camper .... It's what works for you
And obviously use penny/repair washers (if not supplied) to spread the mounting load

Re: Van Vault 2 installation Peugeot expert

thank you so much for the detailed reply, no its not a vault that i will be carrying around on jobs with me. It will be permanently installed. I have a good idea where i want the vault fixed only thing is i dont know how to check for cables pipes fuel tank etc. it would be good to know where the pipes fuel tank cable etc etc are on a diagram so i get a rough idea of where to drill a pilot hole

Re: Van Vault 2 installation Peugeot expert

nah ive not got that ive got a van vault 2 which my dad had lying around in the garage so i thought id put it in my van. i wanted to fit the vault on the driver side so when you open the sliding door its right there. Only thing i dont know much about mechanics and im not sure if ill hit anything if i drill through. I might tap into it. Would that be a good idea?

Re: Van Vault 2 installation Peugeot expert

Ahhhh now i know what you are on about. Well the filler is on the N/S and the filter to that side also so its safe to say the fuel lines will be running up that side also. You are just going to have to get your head under to check the brake pipe and wiring loom route.

Found this. Looks like the brake lines are also running up the N/S

Re: Van Vault 2 installation Peugeot expert

thanks mate really appreciate the help, so it seems safe to say the driver side is not a bad choice. Like you said though best to check wiring looms etc before i make any holes

Think its safe to say aye. It even looks like the wiring loom is on the N/S also. This is the other side and all i can make out is the handbrake cable but that will be turning in soon after the tank to meet the handbrake lever under the floor.
