Re: Squareback Seats !!
You will find that most late beetle parts will fit into a Type 3, as these where taken from the type 3 to update the beetles round about 1967-68 some times before.
As VWSA did not want to carry much stock they used a lot of common parts, so always start looking at Beetle parts, as even with them being the same, will be sold cheaper as some guys load type 3 parts.

Re: Squareback Seats !!
INCORRECT ADVICE HERE.
Beetle seats DO NOT fit early Type 3s.
Rails are completely different.
