Seat Exchanging ?
I have heard a few discussions concerning people changing their seats with other car types - just exactly what other makes will fit? I have a '69
bug that I want to get some better seats for (not new, just good secondhand) and would like to know what will just slide straight in.
I have heard something about Subaru seats, Honda (?), but not sure, can anyone help?
Eventually I will be looking at the same with my '60 bug, are these the same size, etc?
Thanks

got early honda prelude (I think) seats in my 69, plenty of adjustment, fold forward, comfy, bit tight getting to the handbrake, but bearable - they
seem to be welded to the original seat rails, and I have an engineers report to say they're cool - which I believe you are supposed to get in NSW
