Seats to swap/buy...........
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
