Horsehair seat-padding for '74 KG-convertible

[bjornino]

Does anyone know where to find those?
Seat as well as backrest padding.
I do not want to put in the foam-style. Just isn't the same.

Thank you

Bjorn

I've only seen hair seat pads for Bugs & busses...not Ghias. Wolfsburg West sells them.

I went to the local upholstery shop and they had new synthetic horsehair padding in 1 inch and 2 inch thickness for stupidly cheap. Just get some and cut it to size.

Ghia seats are wider, doubt bug stuff will fit.

how bad are the originals? what i did with some type 3 seats was use spray glue in a can to glue the horse hair back together and repair it.
