Subject:      Has anyone added a sliding third seat to a westy?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

The time has come that my grandchildren need to travel with us in our
westy, so the seat-install project I've been putting off for years is
staring me in the face.

It seems that most references I have seen to this have been for
installing a double seat into a non-westy, a project which doesn't
involve removing any cabinets.

I have the seat and the rail parts (somehow lost the fasteners and
hardware, anybody have that?) but just need some guidance so this
doesn't become a prolonged trial-and-error deal (had enough of that
with my 2.1 engine rebuild!)

Can I just get by with removing the fridge cabinet, or does the whole
floor--and the seat and other cabinet--need to come out, too?

I am hoping to tack down some guide boards and use a router to remove
wood. It would be nice if someone would tell me how wide the factory
cut those removals from the floor.

Thanks in advance,

Jim
