I just went through this process with my weekender conversion.. you have to
remove the lower pan from the donor vehicle, you'll need an 4 1/2 in angle
grinder,safety glasses. and remove the welds from along the stock lower seat
track. go carefully and the take to a welder and have him weld back into
your vehicle. carefull not to catch your padding on fire. I also went
through the liberty to shorten the front of the under seat storage/map tray.
as I'll be adding my own false bottom and front to slide out to access my
delorme atlas maps.
any Q's feel free to p-mail me

Hey folks,
        I've located a used front seat pivot/turntable on a Westphalia. How
do I get the thing out?  Removing the seat is easy, but after that I'm
lost. Also, any specific recommendations for when I install it on my '87
Syncro Weekender? I've been told that there are pieces that must be welded,
and would appreciate any info on that.

Thanks,
Mack
