From most of the replies (including the original poster) it seems to be
assumed that the middle seat in question is for a WESTY. A middle seat in my
7 passenger van sure as heck has room to move sideways (which is why I
mentioned the bolts. 8/9 passenger vans have an even longer middle bench,
which becomes much harder for a single person to manuever in an out of the
Van.

After all, this is the Vanagon mailing list, not necessarily the Westfalia
list.:)
