seats that will work with my 71 Type 3
Hey everyone,
I would like to put some high back ( well something with a head rest ) seats in my 71 type 3 fastback, i was wondering what everyone had put in there
and what would and wouldn't work.
I will also be installing a stereo myself shortly, which should prove fun, wish me luck and stay posted for pics.

the simplest solution is to use hi-back seats from a later type 3. these are a straight swap. avoid the very last type 3 seats (73) as they use
different mountsAS

the late t3 seats arent that comfy either, unfortunately any other seats (such as the lovely comfy 1979 subaru seats i have in my kombi) would take a
lot of modification to fit. maybe you can find some other rails that match standard, space them correctly, weld them to a tubular box frame and then
bolt/weld that to the base of a cool seat, would need to be engineer cert/d though.
