After Market Front Seats, Procar 90 by SCAT. 1973 VW Bus Restoration Part 10.

Part 10 of our 1973 VW Bus restoration project and we are putting in Procar 90 white vinyl bucket seats by SCAT. Bay window buses have a very specific front seat mounting style, and we could not find any after market seats that easily fit.
These white vinyl seats match perfectly with the final aesthetic we are going for. Mounting these seats involves having to fabricate an adapter. The method we decided on was just welding in some steal angles and chopping down the height of the procure sliding rails.
We also found the Harbor Freight Titanium small welder to be surprisingly capable and will continue to use it for this project.

Very cool. I actually picked up some vinyl bucket seats out of a New Beetle. Not sure if I will use them or not. I was thinking I didnt want to destroy the original seat mounts

Tough call. My old seats were in rough shape and couldn’t find any decent original ones. I do need to go back and eventually change my mounting since they sit a little high. Luckily I’m only 5’10 so not a big deal for me.
