Subject:floor tracks for single captain's chair
From:Bill Kasper
Date:Wed, 11 Jul 2001 09:27:41 -0700

we picked up our single captain's chair on our los angeles trip ten days
ago, and i don't quite understand how it is to go into our westy.  bentley
has nothing on it.

i understood there were supposed to be some tracks with it, but all it came
with was the crossbars welded to the box at the bottom that have holes in
them.  they look like they would slipfit over some sort of track, but also
look like they would just bolt into the boltholes on the floor.

we have that nice 3/8" plywood sheet as a floor of our westy, which i assume
i have to drill through in either case.  do the tracks get bolted to the
floor, the seat slipped onto them, and the seat bolted through the crossbars
and tracks into the floor boltholes?

and, if i need the tracks/bolts, where can i find them?  still a dealer
item?  or do they come easily used out of a regular 7-passenger van?

thanks.
