I am requesting a picture of the highback to lowback conversion info. What would help tremendously is if someone could post a picture of a lowback seat back with a ruler or yardstick next to it for dimension reference. I would like to tackle the conversion this weekend but I do not have any reference or seat covers to pull any dimensions off of. Any help would be awesome. Or does anyone have any lowback seatback frames for sale? Car is a 69 Squareback.

my understanding from searching and talking with others is that the headrest looks like an addition and is easy to see where to remove to get the height correct. I am not sure since I have not torn my seats down yet as I do not have room in shop until I am closer to using the seats. I was also told to use the 67 seat covers (the ones that roll slightly to the rear.
Again I am not postive on this information as I have been gathering information for my lowback conversion in the near future and some of this information my be wrong or misunderstand by me.

I look forward for more information as my fastback is just in the body work and paint stage at the moment.
