I'm looking for a pair of front seats for my 1968 Beetle. They are the L Shaped runners. I don't mind the colour or condition as I will be recovering them. I found a guy selling them in the UK but he insists on collection so it's way to expensive. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Richie868,

Was I speaking to you at Terenure?
I'm sure someone might have something.
Welcome to Eircooled.

Set up a new thread with your car, would be nice to see.

Collection from the UK might not be as expensive as you might think. You should be able to ship a pallet from the UK for about £50-80, depending on who quotes you?

Yeah, I was speaking to you on Sunday alright. Thanks for the pointers, they're already being put to use!

I'll get a few photos of the car and stick them up.

I have an interior but not sure about the runners,what do you mean by L shaped?

This is the L Shaped runner:

This is the T shaped runner on later models:

If you look at the mounting on the floor, it either looks like an upside down L, or a right way up T

UK collection is reasonable at the moment. I paid The Pallet Network 100euro for europallet collected from Scotland. Check here for the local member in your area.
