Subject:Re: FS: Vanagon "Transporter" Front "bench" seat and side windows/seals

Hey All,

Just to add a bit to Neil's pitch. I have one of these that I use
occasionally in my van. Mine does not have a rear cover either, I don't
think they came with one.

You can create a little bracket very easily to get the seat to stay upright
and you can leave the seatbelt brackets in place on a westy and still swivel
the westy seat (when it's in not the bench)

With this seat plus a two person middle bench you can have a seven passenger
westy!
