Got these back from the platers as well. As mentioned before these were fitted only to the first few months of the 62 models. They are solid brass and weigh about half a pound each. They look superb rechromed and have now been fitted to the seats. This will hopefully inspire me to finish off redoing some of the trim done to the front seats by the trimmer and then the seats will be finally complete.
Originally focused on the restoration of my November 1961 built (1962 model year) Type 3 Karmann Ghia (343) I have now extended the blog to cover the ongoing ownership of my 1964 built (1965 model year) RHD type 3 Karmann Ghia (344) purchased in 1982.

Thanks for posting this photo. I've heard about the early brass seatback adjusters before but I've never actually seen one. I thought they might be mythical, but I guess not! My Ghia has the gray plastic version.
