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

Hi.

I've had some interest, but thanks for pointing out that it will fit a
Westy. Making it a pick up only item limits my audience, but what
you've made a helpful point.

I kinda figured it would fit  the Westy seat tracks, but hadn't
actually tried it. And making a reliable support for the seat back,
doesn't look super hard. Too bad I don't have the time to remove the
partition between the rear and front. It has the supports on it though
I can't imagine someone going as "far" as installing it in their
Westy! --- :^)

Also FYI, when the pics of the bench or glass/seals are gone from this web page:

then they're sold.

Thanks for the help Chris,

Neil.
