Your 70 does not have this style of tracks. You would have to weld them in, or swap the pan. When I pulled the legs apart, I used a 5 pound hammer, and banged like crazy until the seats fit :-) I guess one could heat them, or cut and weld, but then you would have to take the padding and cover off first. The banging worked for me. PerL 73 Square ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
