Why? 68 seats won't fit your 74

I suspect at this point you are wide open. I suspect you're not going to be putting stock seats back in without getting some seat tracks.

Hi. The original seat mounting was used from '73 onward. In my opinion many of these seats were not very comfortable. Finding good used/cores might be costly. Since the original mounting could be all jacked up a possibility could be to get seats from a late model Jetta/Golf which use a similar 3 point mounting. If you're open towards the aftermarket seating a friend of mine used the Scat Pro Car seats, which can be bought with different mounting styles. Your body size could also dictate what kinda seating to look towards.
Bill.
