Need to find 1966 Beetle front seats

Guest 13 February 2005 02:34:53
 I'm looking for original style '66 front seats; basic black vinyl.
Can't seem to find any online. Anyone have a reasonably priced source?

Looks like WCM carries them still. $94.35 for a set of black basketweave
fronts.

 I'm still confused: is that price just for the upholstery or for the
entire seat unit? I need the latter.

Sorry, that's just for the covers.

I'd like to point out that all the repo covers available are made to
the 1967 style. - that's without the smooth borders on the seat face,
and a slightly different basket weave style.

Early 1967 cars also had 1966 type seats. The locking catch is on the
seat base, later 1967 cars had them in the backrest on the side.

 I restored a 1967 VW a few years back. The springs on the front seats were
completely worn out so I ordered "used" seats from www.bugcity.com The
seats I received (used) were in very good shape. I am not aware of anyone
who sells new replacement seats for '66 VW. Hope this helps. -Steve D.-
