seats for a 66

I was fortunate today to score a set of the correct seats for my 66. When I bought the car, it came with the early style seats without the latches. These seats need to be completely media blasted and some spring welding, but they are intact for the most part. I was so excited at finding these seats that I overlooked one small problem. On the driver seat, the lever for the latch is broken. Does anybody know where I may find one these handles? Two would be awesome, but one would be good too.

I think this is what you're looking for.....

If so, I've bought from Mark before. He's honest and easy to get along with.

Cheers,

Thanks Herc.

These ones were sold before I had a chance to jump on them though. Thanks for the heads up, and I will keep an eye on the Samba.

If I was to be looking for a set of "correct" front seats for my 66, which other year's seats would fit? Mine currently has a "wrong" passenger seat for the driver seat, and I think also a wrong seat for the passenger seat. My passenger seat has a pull up lever (broken) on the top side of the seatback ..pretty sure that's wrong for a 66. Comments???

Appreciate the offer ....and the info. So, you're saying the 66 seats are unique to that year, and no other model year seats are interchangeable???

Your price of $325 for the set seems a bit high ...my opinion ....and the shipping to me here in western Canada might just double that cost. So, perhaps I'll hold out for something closer ....

Any year seat is interchangable, but the '66 seat is unique for the model year.
