Greetings

A quick question.  The front seats on my 91 Vanagon do
not have armrests fitted.  My question is,  are these
arm rests fitted as an optional extra to my seats,  or
are they completely different seats from the ones fitted
to my Van.

I am considering fitting these arm rests to both front
seats.  If it is merely a case of finding two sets of
arm rests and attaching them to my seat frames no
worries.  However should I require two different seats,
complete with armrests, unfortunately shipping may be
too costly.

Seeing you are in the process of working on your seats,
I thought who better to ask.  Or should any other
members of the list know something your reply would be
appreciated.

Regards

Ray.
