I have found a pair of scatt seats that are listed as for beetle 48-55 & Beetle 56-70, will these tacks suit/fit a 1970 fastie?

most likely yes with scats type 3 seat adapter kit. but I am not 100% sure.

I am sure some else can confirm??

No!

Sorry should have mentioned they are the scatt with adaptor. Have been told fairly easy to modify if needed.

yeah thats how I understood it. Like isn't scat seats universal then you add the appropriate adapter?

Matty v · 1 Dec 2011, 6:43 am

pretty sure thats how it works. Its the adaptor i may have to modify.

vlad01 · 1 Dec 2011, 5:50 pm

but you can buy type 3 adapter from scat so why bother?

Because the ones for sale are on ebay with beetle adapters

vlad01 · 1 Dec 2011, 9:35 pm

and your point is?

Fastie · 3 Dec 2011, 5:20 pm

My 'point' is - he is stating this because the seats come with the adapter described (no option for with or without) - you don't get a option to change from beetle to type 3 - it is how they ordered it. His option is to order separate adapters direct from Scat.

or remove his original seats and modify the original framesto take the scat seats
