I have a 3rd/two passenger seat installed in my '87 Westy. Don't know year
of donor seat, but probably '86 (had been throne of junkyard dog, but
cleaned up well).  It's easy to do, but the trick is to cut only through
the plywood floor without cutting the sheet metal floor pan underneath; a
really small circular saw would be ideal.  Tracks do mount flush with floor
and mount with two bolts each.
