Similar design, but the 'Ghia tracks are further apart, the seat itself is wider, and the bottom seat frame is lower-profile (they will NOT interchange).
'Ghia tracks were changed - moved even further apart - in mid`69 IIRC. Bug seat tracks are all the same width through `70; an anti-ejection leaf spring was added at the RF in `69, besides that they'll all interchange from mid`50s through `70. `71/`72 had wider rails with plastic inserts, and the entire mounting system was changed to a 3-point setup (similar to Rabbit) in `73. --- On Thu, 7/24/08, Bill May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: Bill May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [vintagvw] Seats > To: "Air-Cooled Volkswagen Discussion List" <[email protected]> > Date: Thursday, July 24, 2008, 7:28 PM > never owned a ghia. some of my friends have ghias tho' > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "63Beetle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "'Air-Cooled Volkswagen Discussion > List'" <[email protected]> > Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2008 3:19 PM > Subject: Re: [vintagvw] Seats > > > > Bill what's the difference in beetle & Ghia > seats.
