Hmm....I just traded a 3 wide westy seat from an '84 wolfsburg after having
it listed here and on thesamba for a year, best offer!

They really are awesome. I used it in my passanger van before it became a
westy, and it really was always amongst my favorite vanagon doo-dads. The
storage was just fantastic. You could fit very long things in there too, not
the case with the westy bed. It has a home with a list member, who'll be
doing some cool custom things with it soon.

As far as repositioning the heater goes, there is ALOT of space for movement
on that. I repositioned it to an entirely different place on my westy swap,
as my interior was from an aircooled and has a door on the face of the rear
bed and no hole for the heater. I simply purchased some hose junctions and
short (I think 1 foot each) sections of hose and made it all longer.

The '84 wolfsburg seats utilize "WESTY" riser brackets in the floor. Don't
ad these, there's no point in welding. Just drill holes, and stick a nut on
the other side. The same applies for the rear supports that extend over the
engine bay hump. One of them will end up inside one of the wheel wells, so
access to that nut is easy. However, on a syncro, I believe the other nut
would infact be hidden behind gas tank stuff.
