Subject:Re: What hardware is needed for the middle seat?

That is the size of the fasteners, but does not solve the problem of the
clamping plates that actually hold the sliding seat to the floor. This is
in regard to the early model slide in seat on the westy (and others, I
suppose) but not the later model bolt-in, non-sliding seat in the GLs.
