> What cars have front seats that will directly go into a Westy or > > >regular vanagon? > none that are "bolt in".. oh..wait.. you can directly bolt in the seats from a '77-'79 westy..oh yea, that would be a real improvement LOL ;<P but seriously, what i would do is take a walk in a well-stocked import car junkyard, and try out some different seats.. none will just slide in, but some may have a flat base that the vanagon seats tracks can be bolted to (they do unbolt).. i have been thinking about some leather merkur seats, or maybe some audi seats. i did see a fella who put some porsche 911 seats in his vanagon - it was a good fit, as the porsche has a flat floor pan..so he was able to adapt the seats without too much of a hassle.. trouble you may run into is, that alot of the "nicer" seats out there are power.. which is a pain in the seatbottom (ie, pain in the ass :<) to retrofit.. chris |
