Subject: 3 passenger front seating for Vanagon Westy

I have a line on the passenger bench from a '86 or '87 pannel
van that uses a single seat for the driver and a two person
front bench seat for the passengers. Unfortunatley the
drivers seat is missinga, and the wrecker is reluctant to cut
out the seating hardware so my questions are:

1) Can I use my regular Westy drivers seat with the pannel
van 60% right side bench?

### Yes.

2) Should I just forget it if I can't get the seating
hardware or will it pretty much bolt onto what is in place
already in my westy?

### What seating hardware - you remove your single seat and slide in the
double wide seat - no additional hardware.

3) will I have issues with the handbrake or shifter?

### No, shifter is not a big deal unless you are the middle guy why is
careless where you put your legs.  There is more than enough room to get
your hand between the two seats to grab the ebrake.

### In case you are interested, I have a double wide front seat (grey vinyl)
you can have for $50 USD plus shipping.  It is able as complete as you can
get for a double wide passenger seat.

Thanks,
Chris
