I thought of using the stock seat on my wheelchair before I even got the wc. It was when I was getting fitted for the motorized beast . The recent "office chair thread" reminded me of my idea.

I really want to do the conversion, but I need the stock seat to RECLINE....

Can someone make the seat a reclining seat ?

Hi Dave!

Making a stock seat recline... your best bet might be an early 911 seat, and see if the upholsterer can cover it to look like a 914 seat. I imagine that you'd want different padding, because the stock seat numbs my butt after a while.

Hope this helps,
Rusty

Hmmmmm... poor circulation in the gleuteus maximus, eh?

while were on the subject..... Does yer butt ever tingle when sitting on hard surfaces with wet pants or shorts??? Always happened to me after swimming I hated that. Had to walk around scratching my ass

Uhhh... yeah, TMI.

I'm a divemaster... wetsuits don't bother me.

I think the butt part of the 914 seat is more narrow, right ?? I have armrests that might need to be spaced out a bit.

As for the butt pad, I'll prolly cut/shape to fit the "Tempur-pedic" one I have now...


I want to keep the stock 914 look, mainly because of the cool seat covers Curvie Roadlover gave me !!

Thanks again, Curvie

Recline like the stock seat, http://www.icbm.org/erkson/personal/porsche914-73/914chair.htm

I need the back to recline, not the butt part
