Seats to swap/buy...........
bigdave - September 9th, 2008 at 08:42 PM

Hey peoples, I bought a pair of Hyundai bucket seats to fit into the Beetle but having second thoughts now and thinking of sticking with original units - problem is the car didnt come with any front seats. Question is - does anybody have a good set of seats to suit a 69 Beetle (has 'L' rail slider) ready to throw in - not fussed what colour although black would be choice? The Hyundai seats are in very good condition and also I have a set of vw bases that I was going to use. Can post pics if requested.
If not swap, would consider buying a pair of original seats.
Cheers
Dave

Thanks Lee but would prefer original at this stage - will keep in mind though. Do you know if they would have been low backs or highbacks?

Cheers

Bushed , I got a new set for the right price -thanks anyway mate. Were the 69 model Beetle originally high or low - or did they change mid year?

Lee, have you got a pic of those seats. Are they compliant mounted on the old bases?

Cheers
Dave

mk1 golf seats have separate headrests that u could remove but most ppl would leave them on as a saftey issue

69 was low back
hi backs in aussie beetles wasnt till 72
most have been swapped over by now tho

yep, as Joel said
and headrests add to comfort as well as safety, Dave
