1970 rear seat tie-tie down strap hook

[markj60616]

I'm looking to re-install my rear seat tie-down strap to add to my car's original look. I have everything except the hook circled here. I've been looking on Samba, Ebay, and swap meets for quite awhile with no luck. Can anyone help me?

Put in a WTB ad in the 1968 and Up Samba Classifieds. Show the picture. You'll get results.

Thanks, guys, for the replies. I am aware of the Wolfsburg West version of the strap. It's my plan B if I can't get a used period correct hook for my original one. I posted a WTB ad on the classifieds page so thanks again for the advice!

I just purchased the piece from someone who answered my WTB ad. I'm about to go remove the ad. Thanks again.

I will post a photo of the strap installed on the back of my seat when I get it in place.

Aside: I'm not sure why I decided to put it back in place...it kind of looks weird just "stuck" on the back of the seat like that in it's stowed position...I actually like the look of the seat better without it! However, I don't see too many Beetles with their original interiors also with the original strap back there so I feel it would be cool for people to see and it would be a talking point.

Rear seat tie-down strap (with proper period correct clip obtained through Samba member) in its "stowed" position behind seat:
