Not yet... mine are for my original seats I will refurbish later this year. The replacement seats now in the car are fine for now. But the machining is great and I look forward to working with them.

I got mine a couple of days ago.

Tried them on a shaft, and the hole size in the middle is right on.

Have to build up my seats before trying them,
But,
Far as I can tell by fitting and measuring they look spot on!


Thanks again for taking this project on, guys.
The commitment of a few dedicated individuals makes this hobby far easier and more fun.

Down here in Australia we have a VW magazine (for those who aren't aware) called VWMA (VolksWagen Magazine Australia ) and in the current edition #54 is an article about these Type3 Seat Adjuster cams.

Being the Author of it thought I'd share it on here - hope you enjoy

Been a while since I've been on here as moving house and having to couch surf for a couple of weeks but finally a roof of our own over our heads.

I'll be trying to re-post the pictures over the next couple of weeks and for those interested in replacing their worn set they are still available through Nilza Wink

WOW, 5 months passed ..... been busy educating a rescue dog to fit into humanity as in human and other dogs which for 5 years he was not introduced to - Border Collie and coming along fine but still a way to go.

Anyhow, thought I'd refresh this thread for members who haven't seen it before and looking for a solution to their front seat adjustment problems Very Happy
