Low back seats in late Type 3?
Chromeo - November 8th, 2011 at 09:31 PM
Anyone know if low back front seats fit directly into a late Type 3?
What should I expect to pay for a decent set?

yes they will fit up to 72 and drop straight in.
73 have its own 3 point mounting type of seat.
Worth? I have no idea. never liked them never bought them, I stick to high back

Seat base of the late seat and change the back. (from memory the late seats are the same as a Mk1 Golf)_

you mean the 73? I thought they were the same as the super?
why change the top from the base when up to 72 still used the early plastic rails
low back.
71-72 high back.
73 high back. Sort of can see it.

Where can i get a set of these seats, need a set badly for my 1970 fasti, otherwise what are other options for fitting seats to a 1970?

I think lowbacks were stock on an Aussie 1970 and 71 at least so they should drop right in.

low backs in Australia till early 71. Up to 70 had grey bases, 71-72 had black bases.

we have a 66 here, grey base
2 67s, black bases
a 69 black bases
2 70s black bases
1 72 black bases, i found that only the real early cars have the grey bases
unless of coarse everyone of the complete cars we have had there seats swapped out

I had a look at my 70, yep black bases
so I'm unsure when the
colour change was.

I have only seen black bases as well and all of them had their correct original seats.

looks like base color may well depend on interior color?
