Plastic seat slider clips for early Mk1

[peter at thescirocco.com (Peter)]

I'm pretty sure Potterman has the Mk.1 center bushings.

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.
