If it would help to see an example of the jumpseat installed, Stohlman VW
in Tyson's Corner has a Customer Courtesy Van-agony with them installed.
You can't miss it, it is painted like the Partridge Family's school bus
(actually the paint scheme is to resemble a very rare multi-color Golf
produced by VW).

Subject:        question about "jump seat"

 << File: ATT00000.html >> Good morning,
    I have a "jump seat" that I would like to put in my 1988 westy behind
the passenger seat.  I think the part number is 053 010 006 R.  It has a
black steel mounting system with pegs at the bottom of the bracket and a
"pull and click in to place" type assembly at the top of the mounting
bracket.  It seats one, and the bottom part can be put into an upright
position.  It looks a lot like a movie theatre seat, but more comfortable.
 The question is will it fit????? Can I somehow mount this thing in the
westy???

    I think the PO may have just wanted to get rid of it (from another
vehicle).  I have played around with it, and cannot see how it would
naturally fit into place.  If any listmember knows of mounting hardware, or
pieces I will need to assemble, I would appreciate any info on
installation.  I am in Washington DC/Northern Virginia area.  If any
listmember knows of a mechanic who can cleanly install this piece, that is
also appreciated.:)

Thank you, Will
