Rob, I did pretty well exactly same thing as you... cutting up westy
floor into 3 strips and laying down tracks. I never did get a 2
person seat though :)

I faced the strips with luan doorskin plywood, thinking someday I'd
put cork on top of that. But as it turned out the luan was the floor
for about 9 years and it held up ok. I only shellacked it and it was
covered by foam pads most of the time, but still it held up better
than I coudl have imagined.

Let's see when I was looking thru the archives for how to do this I
searched for "westy rear seat", "westie rear seat install", "rear
seat install", "rear tracks", "middle seat install" & "rear seat". <g>
