which seat rails to use.
 

i have a 74 bug, and am unsure of which pans to use. should i stick with the 3-point seat rails that came with the car originaly, or should i go with the older style seat rails? which is stronger/better and gives me the most seat options? i have to replace both pan halves and have many tools available to me, so im doing doing all the work myself.

pictures of everyones seat/pan combos would also be much appreciated.



thanks

The seat rails from your '74 are superior to the ones in my '71.

I don't know which will give more options, however. The seats I investigated were available for both set-ups or for neither.

Here are mine:

73-later Bugs can use a modified Golf/Jetta seat (you have to do a little welding). If you do a search, you can find links on this. You can also but after market seat "adapter" tracks. You can also strip everything off a pair of donor seat bottoms from the same year Bug and weld these to the bottom of your new seats.
