Okay fellow's, Like the topic say's, will these seat's (Recaro's) fit the stock seat rail's and fit in my 73- 914? Looking for some better comfort and these are sure fine looking. I'm looking at the Gen-4 LS-B's or the Gen-4 LX-B's. If anybody has these in there car, can you post picture's so I can see what they look like in a 914. Thanks John

Quite a few seat specialists on ebay and normal web channels sell adapters similar to what you seek. Do some searches on ebay 1st and then check Automotix, expanding your search to specialty and custom seat vendors or interior only shops.

Oh, we need some front and side images of the seats. Rise, depth, length, width, etc. I know Phil W. (Dr. Phil on our site) installed some later model P-car seats he bought from a West Coast rehab group. he had to custom mod them and then read here or elsewhere afterwards that there may have been a kit solution or similar.

Good luck...

Hey John, I don't know if this will help you but here is a shot of my stock 914 seat and a Recaro seat out of an old BMW 320is. I really don't know if the 320is Recaro is anything close to the Gen-4 Recaro but if it is, it'll be hard to fit in a 914 with the backpad and the center console in place.

That's what I was wandering about, I might have to get some measurement's and see, They sure look nice and comfy,especially for my big butt. Thanks for the picture and information. John
