Hi Mark and others, 

        It seems that if you are patient these seats still show up. 

        I have been given a brown one in lovely condition that matches my 85.  I also have a grey one.  I only use them in the van about once a year. 

I use them as small couches the rest of the year. 

Still, if someone with a grey van needs a middle seat I’ll give it to them.  I actually use the grey one in my van more as it feels a bit lighter, so easier to install.  I’m probably imagining it but maybe they lightened it somehow. 

Both my middle seats have two arm rests.  I suspect this means they were originally in passenger vans.  But they slide in on the rails. 

I’ve learned to remove one arm rest by the driver’s side to get a perfect fit. 

Is the actual Westie jump seat different?  Mine is a two seater.

I also have the single seat option.  That usually sits on a rocking chair base I made for it.  But it is ready to pop into the van if needed.
