Subject:91 Westy Captn Driver's Seat Removal and Aux battery?
From:Robyn Rudisill

Hello,

Can some one tell me how to get the entire seat and base out of my 91 Westy
Syncro?  As noted above, I have a 91 with captains chairs.  I can the seat
part out no problem, there are buttons and levers for that, but the base is
a whole different story.  It appears to hang on the release for the swivel
base. As a side subject what is a good grease for the slide rails?   Mine
are bone dry.

Aux battery questions.  What a tight fit!  I bought the Optima d750u with
the side terminals.  There is barely any room front to back, so I don't
think I will be able to even get to the side terminals.  Has anyone done
this on a 91 Westy?

Where did you ground your aux battery?
How did you connect the wires from the relay to the positive post (top or
side)?
Did you remove the lid that covers the compartment?

Thanks for your time.

Robyn
