What's under the passenger seat of a front entry coach?

[Eric Perplies]

Well, I did it. Sort of. As it turned out one of the nuts that
secures the cover plate (on the underside of the coach) turned.
Because I have committed, (after the Jim Scoggins tragedy) to never
work under the coach without proper cribbing, I had to abandon
removing the slide plate cover. I did find a satisfactory solution to
my problem however. In tearing everything out I found the flow
control valves for the step well cover. I have adjusted the step well
cover to be able to move in slooooow motion. When the cover board
moves so slowly the two drawer slide mechanism (without ball bearings)
do a satisfactory job of guiding the board. The only downside is my
wife will have to wait 5 seconds for the cover plate to open or close.

If I'm not happy with how it works I will remove the cover plate when
I have the facilities to properly get under the coach.

Thanks for the help.
