When I only had an '84 7 passenger and an '85 Westy (the Westy already
has middle seat rails) I used to "Borrow" the middle seat out of the 7
passenger for Westy use.  The problem with that was that the '84's
middle seat doesn't have folding seat backs so it made access to the
rear seat a real bear.  If I put the seat in facing aft, then access was
OK but leg room suffered.

I bought a middle seat from Chris Turner that has folding backs so now
I'm a happy camper, so to speak.  Yes, the middle seat slides right up
to the kitchen cabinet but during the times I've needed the Westy to be
a people hauler, it didn't matter.  Much of the time it is in storage
but it does get used.
