I sold those brown GL seats to a young lady who put them into her early '80s van and she reported that the attached armrests interfered with the existing armrests on the early doors so one armrest or the other had to be removed.

Will the later model velour seats with armrests from a westy or vanagon fit
onto the rails of an 82 westy without modification?� Is this "plug and
play"?� Will the seat rotate the same as the original 82 (drivers and
passenger)?� Heights different?� Anyone know for certain about this?
