Nice van! Those seats appear to be much thicker in the bottom cushion than Vanagon seats. The spacer looks like it lets you see over the wheel!

Found the answer to my own question! Good old ebay.de <http://ebay.de>: < http://tinyurl.com/bez7n> They don't LOOK like they're too high; but what's the deal with the instrument pod? Is that because steering wheel is smaller and blocking the speedo and tach, or because the seat put the line of sight too high, or maybe a combination of both?
