na i was lazy! lol never fitted the bench right! i dont have people in the back, you need to make the brackets! a guy on e38 said he would make me some but i never bothered as i am after recaro's and might dump the rear bench altogether

doesnt the scirocco rear bench fit??  might be worth asking on a scirocco site as i cant remember if it goes into mark 1 or mark 2 golf.  might work out cheaper to re-cover or could try www.retrovw.co.uk or similar vw breakers.

mk2 seats arnt a direct swap cos the forward/back leaver is on the wrong side, you can swap it over with a bit o welding or some clever mounting, or just put up with having to pull the pin across with your finger!
