Finding an original style center guide bushing is the problem for me.
It has an arched top to match the shape of the mount on the floor.  I
have not found a source for new ones of the original style.

This style is similar, but has a flatter top.  No experience with this
part, however.  Maybe someone else has made it work.

For a very early car like mine, sometimes you can find serviceable
bits in bug, bus, and vanagon parts. (I run with one good original
style guide and one plastic shim/wire tie thing I made to keep the
seat steady).

Hoping somebody may have a better solution or a distinct VW part
number for the original style center bushing.
