Mine's an '87, is it easier/harder to install the tracks in any=20= >other model year??? I have a 3rd/two passenger seat installed in my '87 Westy. Don't know year of donor seat, but probably '86 (had been throne of junkyard dog, but cleaned up well). It's easy to do, but the trick is to cut only through the plywood floor without cutting the sheet metal floor pan underneath; a really small circular saw would be ideal. Tracks do mount flush with floor and mount with two bolts each. George Becker e-mail: George.Becker@sce.com |
