Bill,

Sounds like Karl and I have the same plywood floor with tracks built flush
into them, and you do not.  Bummer.  Odd, since your van is an '87, which
falls between Karl's '85 and my '88.  Maybe they were only put in if you
bought the optional chair, and Karl and my POs, lost/sold/threw away the
chairs.  Someone (check the archives) posted a photo of the tracks you
require within the last couple of months.  I remember looking at it, to see
if I could mount one of those chairs.  I just haven't found a chair that
anyone wants to part with here in Canada.  I thought all Westys have these
tracks.  (They are great at collecting dirt...)  As usual, someone will have
the answer.

Regards,

Mike Pedersen
