I received a nice pair of seats from a early 2000s New Beetle (the "old" "New", not the "new" "New" - not sure if there are any seat differences but just in case...). I'd really like to use them in another vehicle (namely my 1969 Beetle) but that would be best facilitated if I had the "toothy" inside-edge and smooth other-edge seat rails and middle mounting plate from a New Beetle that I could get welded in. I went to the VW dealer to see if these are available spare parts, but they said no, they come welded as part of the chassis. So, it looks like my best bet is to try to find a wrecked New Beetle that these pieces could be cut out of. I'm a wrench-turner, not a metal-cutter, so the thought of trying to manage this at my local pick-your-piece wrecking yard is intimidating at best. I thought I'd see if any of you either have these pieces available, or have advice on how to pursue obtaining them out of a donor vehicle. Thanks for the help and advice!

It looks like Wolfsburg West shows the front pedestals and you could ask if they can get the rear short tracks . This is air cooled right . There is also a person in Mexico that was selling genuine VW parts . VW heritage parts UK and now also US show the side runners.
