Hi Geoffrey,

        Not only do the early seats not have arm rests but I’m pretty sure they had the old style horse hair construction.  If that is the case I’d sure recommend upgrading to a later vanagon foam seat. 

        I suspect a little looking around would locate some.  I actually know someone with two but they are grey and you would want brown or good seat covers!
I have ridden in the earlier  seats and it reminds me of my old bay windows.  All good but man the Vanagon seats are a nice upgrade and should be a straight swap.  But I do think there is a difference between Westy seats and vanagon seats so watch out for that.  The Vanagon seats I’m told are larger so if you have swivels it is a problem.
