Larry,

It seems the sewfine web site doesn"t cover Z-beds and the rear cushion did they do yours? Early westies like Pokey have very squared off rear benches as opposed to later models that are more moulded.

Also, it is somewhat of a rarity, but another vanagon seat they don't have is the two person passenger bench that gives you three across seating in front. This was present in panel vans and some singlecabs, plus a few others I'm sure.

I have been meaning to measure mine and send it to you but I haven't yet.

Thanks, Chris
