Got a set of 74 seats if they suit.

These are the high backs.
If you're still interested, PM me your details.
Cheers

bases are different in 70 to the later ones....maybe change the backs onto orig 72

I currently have a late pan with an early body and recaros on custom bases. old seats went 10 years ago I think

There are 3 different types of seat runner. "L", "T" and the 3 leg. The "L" type is low backs only and used up until around '71 or '72. Then there is the "T" type which is high or low back. The later models have a 3 leg similar to Golf and are high backs only.

I think mine are the L type. so going to be more of a nightmare to find. thanks for the info

High backs were required in 1971 or 2 by the relevant ADR's

ok nearly a year is up and I have got a set of 1971 high backs 😠

T runners. one base looks to be beyond repair rusted. so one T runner 1971 base needed. will take whole seat. condition not too important just need locking mech to be working
