Beetle to Thing/181 seat interchange years and models

[uberautowerks]

Rumor control time (perhaps even a sticky)

Beetle to Thing/181/Safari/Trecker seat interchange list.....

1971 and 1972 Beetle/Super Beetle are the ONLY stock VW seats which are a "Bolt in" interchange.

Period.

Thanks,
Eric

What about seat tracks? Is it the same 2 year beetle deal on them too?

[uberautowerks]

Thing/181 seat tracks are Thing/181 only due to the different shape of the floor.

I believe the earlier wheel would be correct.
