 Posted: Tue Jun 23, 2009 8:50 pm Post subject: Rear seat back width |
 |
|
I'm a type 3 guy, but a friend of mine gave me a back seat (along with some other parts) from a Ghia (he was cleaning out his garage), and I'm tring to find out what it fits. Can someone give me a measurement of a hard top, and a convertible? I don't know if its an early seat (up to 69) or a late (70 on), or if from a vert or a hard top (are they the same?). Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Icy, thanks for the pics. Is this one
for a coupe, or a vert though? Looking at the other pic, the material matches the coupe, is why I'm asking. Is a vert narrower?

Yes, Bob. The convertible rear seats are narrower than the coupe. Also, the dimensions of the rear seats did not change throughout production.
The one in the picture that you posted is from a coupe. I hope this helps.
