I'm having a hard time seeing the relationship between the seatback dimension of a -4 for "more room in my 6"..........

Cya,
New narrow seatbacks will be done and installed by this weekend. Then after I test the added space, I will report back.

It will only be good if you have manual flaps.

Default If the girl fits

If she don't fit than shes too big?

13"? I sold my RV4 a few years ago, but thought it was wider than that. That is about right for the front seat back. The bottom can be a wider.
