My Square is a 73, it desperately needs new front seat covers, we're coming up to the 200,000 miles mark!
They are the three point seats, my question is are they the same as a beetle? they do look it but when I came to fit a beetle plastic side panel to one of the seats it was to short so i guess the mechanics are different but what about the covers?
If I have to get type 3 specific is there anywhere in the UK that supplies em? (not T£D )
Late Type 3 seats???
Re: Late Type 3 seats???
I got TMI covers from Karmann konnection for mine. great fit good price when I got mine a few years back. shop around if you want TMI covers as the price varies a lot from supplier to supplier.

Send a pm to mattd,Ben !-he's got a set of very good used 3 point seats,and a car without 3 point fixings!
Re: Late Type 3 seats???
Trouble with the TMI covers is they had high-backs and they don't seem geared up to supplying later fabric with low-back shape. Spirit might come up with some covers - they make them in the UK, I think.

Re: Late Type 3 seats???
cheers guys. I messaged Matt but nuthin back of yet, you got any other contact details for him Pete?
I've heard bad service from Spirit so don't really wanna go there. Still havent determined if 3 point T3 seats are the same shape as T1 seats If they are
I could get some beetle front seat covers straight of the shelf

Re: Late Type 3 seats???
I'm pretty sure they're not - the car is wider so I don't see why the seats would be as small as Beetle ones. The seat cover sets I've seen advertised over the years have not had the same part number for Type 1 and Type 3.
Maybe people who've had good (or bad) service from Spirit will let us know the details - sometimes you only hear when things go wrong.

I got a carpet set from Spirit of the 50s, collected it at Dubfreeze last year. It fits well and looks good.Editor wrote: Maybe people who've had good (or bad) service from Spirit will let us know the details - sometimes you only hear when things go wrong.
I'd certainly use them again for other stuff - no complaints here
