A Planted Technology seat bracket for the VW Golf, Jetta and Rabbit on the Mk1 chassis up to 1984, and the Scirocco from 1974 to 1980. Part number SB088.
Planted’s own listing for the earliest water cooled Volkswagens, which all sit on the same floorpan. We also list it against the Jetta Mk1 and the Scirocco Mk1 so owners find a page naming their car.
Rabbit is the North American name for the Golf.
The car that saved Volkswagen
The Mk1 Golf replaced the Beetle when the company was in genuine trouble, and the GTI that followed more or less invented the hot hatch as a category. Values on good GTIs have gone a long way.
The floor check is serious on these
Mk1s rust comprehensively and forty five year old ones that were cheap for most of their lives have usually had work. Get right under the carpet and look properly at every mounting point. If it is soft, sort it before a seat goes near it.
The car is light, so ask us about lighter shells.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Lexus Planted Technology Frames Updated For 2026, and Customer Car: Subaru Impreza With Corbeau RRS Seats and Planted Technology Brackets. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is made for the Scirocco (1974-1980), VW Golf/Jetta/Rabbit [MK1 Chassis] (-1984). Chassis code and years matter more than the badge, as floor pans change between generations, so if your car sits near a changeover year, send us the registration and we will confirm before you order.
Which seats does it take?
Check the bolt pattern in the specification against your seat. The Compatible seats tab above lists what bolts straight on. If your seat is not listed, tell us what you run and we will confirm the fit.
Do I keep fore-and-aft adjustment?
Only with a sliding runner between the frame and the seat, which is a separate part on Planted frames. If more than one person drives the car, budget for the runner. Our guide to sliding runners explains the options and widths.
Is this for the driver or passenger side?
Both sides are available on this listing, pick driver or passenger side at the point of order (sides listed are for right-hand-drive cars). Left-hand-drive car? Ask us, as the sides swap over and availability varies by model.
