I really don't know what all the confusion is.

You got a '87 westFalia, right??? (it's spelled with an "f", not a
"ph"....look on your poptop...)

well, if you got an '87 westy, and want to put a middle seat outta a 7 pass
van into your westy, have you ever looked under the carpet mat in your cargo
floor?

you should have 2 filler strips in tracks in the formica floor, already in
there for this purpose. This is if you have a westy GL. (WWW's don't have
this)  
Remove the filler strips, and slide in the seat.

It MUST be rocket science....
