Chris,
As to your ad nauseum comment, don't overlook that not every listmember
reads every post. What you've seen before might be someone else's first
time.
He didn't state in his original FS post what they were from so someone
who is looking to "Replace" their original seats with "Like" seats needs
that info. The '84 Pattern is different from later tan seats.
Someone who is looking to upgrade from the horsehair striped seats
wouldn't care.
My wife likes the greater thigh support of passenger van seats so right
now I'm using the passenger side seat from my '84 in my '85 Westy for
that reason.
BTW, if you use two passenger van seats in a Westy and like to swivel
the seats to face each other (with the table in the middle) you won't
have as much leg room.
