Jeff, a thicker replacement seat cushion in a Westy can be handled by removing the pivot mechanism to bring the seat height back down by the thickness of the removed piece.  That might gain you a crucial inch of clearance.

 I have an 84 Westy w/ original seats that are comfy for long drives of over
600 miles one way- I am only 5'-10", 200 # w/ small butt, I think, so it
must be one's particular butt profile.  I have however, rotated the driver
& passenger seats to even out the wear on the seats.  YMMV.
