Original front seats?

Discussion in 'Mech Tech' started by NewtoVW, Dec 4, 2012.

  1. Hello, just wondered if anyone would post up some pictures of an original front double passenger seat and the fittings and catches. We've got some horrible ford seats in ours and want to change them for original ones.
    (Our bus is a '73 twin slider kombi with a full width bulkhead..No seat runners for the drivers seat and no clips/catches for the passenger seat..It has the space underneath the seat for the spare wheel so I'm guessing the passenger seat hinges upward?) Many thanks John and Lynn.
     
  2. I'll have a look tonight. Mine has the same set up with the spare wheel well up front. There's bit a runner as such for the passenger seat (double bench thing), just a series of hooks (from memory) the drivers seat sits on runners.

  5. if you dont have the half round cups/clips, this is what i did to fit mine. http://thelatebay.com/index.php?topic=6082.40 The clip for the backrest came from another vw.

    there are lots of people on here with double passenger seats.

    found this for a pic of the cup/clips for the base of the seat (pictured on the middle right of this photo.
    heres a link to where i got it from http://my.opera.com/syklist/blog/index.dml/tag/VW%20Type%202

    Also if you need more info on anything, add this to your favourites it might come in handy. http://delicious.com/stacks/view/JSnxda

    The seat will be hinged so the back is hooked into the clip then the base is sort of wedged into these cups.

    Hope this helps.
