Mark,
I partially answered this in the previous post (always happens when the
keyboard is quicker than the mouse).
In my car, with my size and probably your size (I don't know about your
full size co-driver), there is room next to my thighs on each side of the
firebottle area. The Palm goes on the left, the battery is vecro'd to the
fiberglass on the right and the interconnecting cables go side to side just
in front of this area over the top of the battery. The g-cube is velcro'd
to the top of the battery cover, also under my legs. It just so happens
that I had a couple of brackets left over from trying to use the g-analyst
that allow a bungee cord to snug the cube down on top of the velcro so it
is hard to kick the cube loose with my heels getting in/out of the car (yes
it is tight, even with size 8 1/2 race shoes).
