Subject:Westy Middle Seat help
From:Southard

Last weekend I picked up a primo middle seat with tracks from Raul (thanks).
 Although Reinhardt is out of service right now, I haven't given up on him and
we will need a few extra seats once we solve our engine problems and begin
camping again.

Wouldn't you know it, today I picked up a primo Jumpseat from an '86 Westy that
will slide in on the same tracks!  I plan to use each at different times,
probably keeping the jump seat in most of the time and the regular middle seat
only when all six of us are using the van.

Has anyone made this installation of middle seats on their Westy?  I pulled the
metal sill off next to the sliding door and it appears the carpet is tacked
down to a veneer of some sort, which is in turn tacked to wood.  I didn't have
a lot of time and I was hesitant to start ripping up good looking carpet
without at least the wisdom of this list.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Maynard
