Seat fitment
Seat fitment
What seats are a bolt in fitment to the Mk2? I have poor condition standard seats and am thinking some nice aftermarket ones may be cheaper than a refurb!
Thanks

Re: Seat fitment
corrado all the way or with some modding audi tt seats have been made to fit but requires cutting and welding.
alternatively you can still by seat runners and a choice of bucket seat.

Re: Seat fitment
Anyone tried MK3 seats in a MK2, they're a great match visually. But can they be made to fit?

Re: Seat fitment
You can still get subframes from most of the seat manufacturers i think. Sparco, Cobra, Corbeau etc. Then drop a sliding runner kit on top and drop their seats on top of that. Cobra Le man seats always look good in the retro VW's in my opinion! :)

Great, one of my concerns was width and depth. Mk3 seats look quite deep.

Re: Seat fitment
They will go in with a bit of modding and yeah they are quite deep, the frame hoop is different to a mk1/2 style frame, have mk3 recaros in mine (mk1) and had to chop/notch the floor crossmember a bit to get them to sit low enoughFresco3000 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 18, 2019 6:35 pm Great, one of my concerns was width and depth.

How did it go in the end? Did fitting the MK3 seats wipe out rear seat use?

Re: Seat fitment
Guys, will a passenger seat slot into the drivers side runners on a Mk2? Is there any difference between each sides fittings?

Re: Seat fitment
I am pretty sure the seat frames are mirror image of each other and not reversible.
