They do fit. There's a thread over on thesamba about installing EV
seats. The width of the male rail on them need to be trimmed.
According to the poster, the seats aren't that much taller. They are
longer in the seat part though which likely interferes with swivel on
the Westy.

I recently saw used EV seats online. $150 each, 200K km's + on them.
Am now thinking I'd be better off rebuilding the seats I have.
