Default Two Single Folding Flat Back Seats...?

Was wondering if anyone has taken out the 60% rear seat (From the 60--40 rear seat set-up.) and swapped it out for another single 40% seat...? (Using factory stock seats......) Is this possible? I am interested in having just two individual seats in the back, the catch is, I'd like them both to fold flat the way the stock seats do....From my research, it doesn't look like any aftermarket seat manufacturers offer folding flat rear individual seats...What do you guys think? Is it possible to do and how would I go about ordering one from the factory, if that's the only option....?
Thanks for your help!
Sorry I should mention I have a 2011 JK Unlimited on order and am waiting patiently for the next week or so to pass, before it shows up!!!!!

Ok, I took some pics of my 11 Sahara rear seat. Let me first start off by saying anything is possible, but this is not going to be a case of just order half a seat and bolt it in. From the pics I posted, you can see that the larget seat is about 27 inches from hinge to hinge. The other seat uses one hinge and is connected to the larger seat hinge in between the seats. I also took a picture of the smaller seat front. You will have to figure out a way to move the seatbelt clip, and the fabric on the seat will not look correct. the seat fabric could be fixed with a seat cover, but moving the seatbelt clip could become a safety issue. If you end up doing it, I would love to see the pics.

Good luck... Hope I helped.

I wonder if everything is reversed on a euro jeep. You might be able to find a 40 from there. I haven't done any research for you, but it's a thought and at least worth looking at.

Hello there, I have a 2010 right hand drive Unlimited, and the rear seats are the same as all the left hand drives.
