914World.com _ FS/WTB: 914 Parts _ Testing the waters: Sport seats

Posted by: BuddyV Sep 13 2020, 09:13 PM

I bought these seats a few years ago.... LOVED the way they looked, and once I got them, really liked the way they sit. I am 5'-11" 225 pounds, and I am SUPER comfortable in them.

I made seat adapters for them .... so they will fit onto your 914 rails.

No head rests..... but it appears that they have holes for headrests.

No.... I did not see any labels to indicate the manufacturer.

Yes, the upholstery looks F$#@ing awesome! Diamond pattern on the sides...... corduroy in the centers. TONS of cool patina.

No, not perfect..... there is a very small hole on the side of one seat and the Previous owner glued a leather patch..... looks dumb, if you ask me.... looks fine with the hole exposed

Looking for a set of unique seats ready to slide onto your 914? Like the rally car look? These might be the perfect seats.

$1200 picked up in the SF Bay Area...... or ship at your cost. (Please don't make me pack these.... please. I will buy you beer if you pick up)

Hi,
I am not 100% sure, but those seats look like Paddy Hopkirk seats I use to have in a Mini Cooper. Had similar or same pattern.
Nice looking seats. Good luck with the sale.
Bill.

I don't know what they are but one of your seat rails is on backwards. It is the non adjuster rail on the seat on the right. I will not allow the seat to go rearward the full range.
Ask me, or Jeffery how I know.

Mike - that's them! Thank you!

.... I didn't see ANY labels to suggest the manufacturer.

Very cool seats..... I hope that someone can use them. They do not fit my build
