I've a fair number of the wiring diagrams on my website - www.hallvw.clara.co.uk/vwwiring.htm which will help. I thought there was a panel in the manual with the codes (Haynes certainly has) - ge(gelb) = yellow, ro(rot) = red, gr(grau) = grey, gn(grun) = green, sw(schwarz?) = black, we(weiss) = white, bl(blau) = blue, br(braun) = brown.... any more? I don't remember the seat back being in the way too much - can only be right at the bottom, and it's in a heavy outer sheath there, which I would want to leave undisturbed if poss. Jim's right about the removal - they're nuts on fixed studs that hold the plates, and the seat hooks over a full-width lip at the top. The Beetle engine won't be getting proper cooling - OTOH, if it's upright, I guess the body is chopped about a bit already. Dave.
