Hi guys and gals,

I posted this in Mods and FAQ but thought I would get a better response here.

I was thinking of changing the front seats in my 75/6 kombi but the thought of getting an eng's certficate has put me off a bit. I have two good frames from the kombi but the foam and stuffing is kapoot. Can I just get some rubber from clarke rubber and do it myself? Is it hard? or does someone sell the required parts in a kit form and I can just do it myself?

Thanks

I saw a fellow AVD member who has some seats from a 71 bug up for graps. Could they fit into my bus or are the rails too different?
