I had planned to just swap rails to keep from having to do the cutting but if the Westy hinge is different then that might complicate things or else not provide the seat-cushion-size benefit I was trying to achieve.

During our trip to Newfoundland last June, one of the screws holding
the rails on the drivers seat came loose far enough to drop part way
out of its hole. The head caught behind the end of the bottom track,
holding the seat so that it was slid all the way back.  For the rest
of the day, only the people in our group with long legs could drive.
Later, I pulled the carpet out of the way behind the seat so I could
see what the problem was and manipulated the screw until it fell down
completely.  Then I could pull the seat out and tighten all the
screws.

It's always something,
