Subject:Re: 2 bench seats in a westy?

If you use the Westy type middle seat, the backs flip forward allowing
easy access to the rear seat.  You can also slide a middle seat
backwards in on the rails.  Access to the rear seat is then easy but
there's not a whole lot of leg room.

When my wife broke her leg and ankle, I put the middle seat in facing
aft so she could seat on the rear bench and rest her bad leg on the
middle seat cushion.

As to moving the middle seat forward, you'd have to bolt it down to be
safe and you wouldn't be able to slide it in and out.
