Is there a source (other than other middle seats) for the springs in the seat bottom? I'm not referring to the heavy springs usually around the perimeter, but the smaller wire springs which are often doubled up.
They are about 6 or 7 coils high which is taller than other seats (beetle and bus front seats, beetle rear seats) so I can't steal springs from those sources.
I'm talking about the dozens of springs you see here in the bottom of this seat

Hi, Can anyone please post the dimensions of these seats. I have been doing various searches for days but can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Specifically floor to seat underside, floor to seat top, seat depth, overall height etc.
Thanks |

Are you planning to build your own middle seat? Full width or a 2/3rds seat? If you look at the second post in this thread by Lind, there are lots of different seats made over the years. If you want just a general idea of dimensions on a full width seat, you might check with one of the reproduction vendors like ISP West. https://vwispwest.com/full-width-middle-seat-bus-1955-1967-221881021b/ |

Thanks for the link. I'm just after basic rough dimensions at this stage if anyone has them to hand. Doesn't have to be super accurate.

Is anybody doing a decent reproduction of the arm rests for the short 2/3 middle seats currently? I am in need of one, original or repop.
I did see the crude wooden ones listed in the classifieds but was looking for something a little more correct then just a chunk of wood...
