Hi
Your font is really hard to read. Dont have any spare seats. If your car has the T runners on its base, seats from 72 & 73 bug will fit.

most honda seats fit the thing you need to watch for is the base height. a friend has just fitted a set of honda buckets one of the nicest seat i have
seen and a fast fit, uses the honda runners

Hi
I agree, I have Honda Prelude seats in my daily driver, they were snack to fit but you need to watch the mounting height.

there is a little "safety latch" you need to lift that stops them from sliding out "all the way" by "just" lifting the lever
It is only on one side of each seat
See if i can find a picture

74 seats
THanks for all the replies.Haved manage to get some seats that lock now.Only trouble they are both torn to shreds. Gonaa get some gaffa and then cover
with seat covers. Hopefully this will be ok for the road worthy, as he said the old seats were too ripper and could be danger of springs coming up my
ass whilst driving.Then my bug will actually get on the road, its unregistered at the mo. |
