Hi.
I've had some interest, but thanks for pointing out that it will fit a
Westy. Making it a pick up only item limits my audience, but what
you've made a helpful point.
I kinda figured it would fit the Westy seat tracks, but hadn't
actually tried it. And making a reliable support for the seat back,
doesn't look super hard. Too bad I don't have the time to remove the
partition between the rear and front. It has the supports on it though
I can't imagine someone going as "far" as installing it in their
Westy! --- :^)
Also FYI, when the pics of the bench or glass/seals are gone from this web page:
http://tubaneil.googlepages.com/benchseatandsidewindowsfs
then they're sold.
Thanks for the help Chris,
Neil.
