Bucket Seat fitment to Mk1

Post by KenBowden »

Hi Guys, any ideas on fitting buckets seats to a mk1 Golf.
I see there are brackets available but not that I can see here in SA.

Use Citi Golf seat bases and fabricate your own brackets to fit the bucket seats.

You mean cut the bits off the citi golf bases and fiddle with those and the new bucket seats to get the new seats onto the old skool rails?

Won't that entail some cut and weld?
