I found that generally if you ask the dealer parts guy about a none standard
sort of thing (like putting jump seats into a standard van or a Westy) they
will stare at you like they have no idea what you are talking about.  However,
go see you dealer parts guy on a quiet day, tell him you what you are trying to
do and that you aren't sure just what parts you will need and ask him if you
could peek at the microfiche for a couple of seconds.  If he puts in the
assembly blow up for the jump seats on an '88 wolfsburg/carat you will
immediately see the mounts that you need.  Point them out to him and ask him
for P/N's , price and availability.  As long as they don't have to think for
you and they aren't too busy you will find the parts guys will almost always
help you out.  I have the info on some of these mounts somewhere in my garage.
If your parts guy won't let you see the microfiche for some reason p-mail me
and I'll try to dig them up.
