VW Beetle 1303 Bucket Seat Guide
The VW Beetle 1303 (73>75)...
This was a revision of the 1302 Beetle and was available as the 1303A, 1303 and the 1303S. The only major change was that the flat windscreen was replaced with a more modern curved windscreen, which improved aerodynamics and interior space.
Once you start using your VW Beetle 1303 for fast road and track use, you’ll soon realize just how much you need new bucket seats to provide more support.Â
On cornering, you may find your self holding onto the steering wheel tighter than usual, tensing your thighs and legs against the central console and/or door card. You’ll probably find your weight shifting in the seat and having to re-position your self after the corner.Â
None of this is correct. Your seat should provide the right level of support so that you can grip the steering wheel only for steering, your legs should be supported and your weight shouldn’t shift around. The recommendations we provide are to ensure that you feel comfortable and supported allowing you to focus on the job at hand.Â
We’ve worked closely with our customers to create our VW Beetle 1303 guide.
The resulting recommendations are based on previous customer car installations.
