Would this effect the back seat? There's nothing you can drill and move, but on squares up to mid-'72 there is a silver stop plate screwed to the inner rail, at the back. If you remove the screw and the plate then the seat will go back about one more inch. If you need to drive with the rear seat folded down you'll have to move the seat forward that same inch. Fastbacks and notches, because their rear seats don't fold down, don't have that plate and already have the extra 1" of leg room. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
