I have a '71 Super, the original seats were HighBacks. I just recently changed to LowBacks and they're pretty much the same base, thus meaning the rails were the same.
I'm sure the '70 seats/rails are the same as the '71 Supers.

my 70 standard 1300 has high backs...one of my supers has highbacks, the other low backs...and the 61 has low backs too...

My dad fitted seats from a 70's super into my poor old departed 68 bug and they fitted without too much drama
