Niiice..   3rd annual request eh?  i never heard anything.   i just slashed
the backs of a perfectly good pair of these seats to get the headrest sockets
out , a week before my surgery when i parted out a '83 westy.
why would u want these horrible non-armrest seats?   i never had any
resquests for them, they just take up room. thats why i slashed the seatbacks..  why
dont you put a set of capt. chairs w/ armrests in?   the seats you have have
absolutely no foam padding in the backrest..just horsehair and straw.  the capt.
chairs w/armrests are padded with foam both seatbottom and seatback.

anyway, for those of who are sadistic, i do have some of these early westy
front seats, i have one thats the brown/tan/blue fabric thats in perfect shape ,
and a pair of the brown/tan/green ones that the striped upholstry is in nice
shape, (seatbottoms are in good shape) but the brown vinyl seatback (on the
back of the seat) i slashed open with a razor to get the headrest sockets out..
plus a bunch of other fabric (all  kinds from 80-84 campers) section from
camper seats that i cut out with a razor before i pitched the seats..

anyway, p-mail me if you want these things..  like i said the front fabric is
still good, its just the brown vinyl back that i cut open.  let me know soon
..dont have the room for these ugly things.. lol

so you people want me to start saving these seats?   i cant save
everything...
