Porsche 911 seats - looking a bit tatty, but they will get re-upholstered one day...


They fit very well, although very close on the rear side panel (modified the drivers side on mine a bit) as they are a bit wide.
Super comfortable, I shall be able to travel for several hours without any pain

nice i have 911 996 Turbo on mine

 

 

How did you mount yours on the rear of the stock mounting points? Did you just bolt them to the floor? Isn't the floor metal too thin?

 

How do you guys mount yours? Mines way too forward using the stock mounting points when using Recaros. But with the Corbeau buckets and stock seats their just fine.

 

With the Recaros, the rear legs sit somewhere in the middle of the seat, basically supporting all the weight.

 

 

The seats were bolted to the floor, using two long U-shaped brackets underneath the runners connected to two 25mm bars running across them. This spreads the weight over the floor and even closed to the edges of the floor.

If I've understood your question right - no, not mounted to the stock mounting at all. It's two bars mounted to the floor running in parallel to the crossmember. Bolted or welded to those it's a u-shaped bracket underneath the runners. I might be able to find a picture, will try to post it tomorrow.

This one's the best I've found. I haven't used a full bar underneath the runners by then, later it got replaced by a one piece bar.

Does anyone know of a dye that can be applied to seat fabric to change blue to black that won't dye clothing when you sit on the seats? Bought a set out of a focus st170 but the blue centre fabric panels won't match my planned body colour, help please!
