They look kinda big for 914. Will they fit and allow e-brake use?

Kevin,
I dunno, I don't have the measurements for them. If I get the info I'll pass it along.

I have tested mid 70s 911 seats in my 914 and they dont fit. At least you cant use hand brake any more. And I think the bench (the part of the seat under your ass. Sorry, I am not good in english and dont know all the right words. Hope you understand.) is too thick and you will end up sitting too high. Sorry if I told you bad news. Dont hit the messenger

Yea, I have some 911 seats in my 73 vw bus...and they sit really high, almost too high (I am only 5'11"), in a 914, unless you are a midget, your head would be above the windshield.

Yes, I have mid 911 seats in my 1977 International Scout Traveler, fit very nicely, seating height is about perfect for the 17"Ø "look-thru" steering wheel.
E-brake is still OK, it's foot operated.
The tilt forwards seatback is the key, 911 and Traveler both being 2 doors......

so the consensus is no go in a teener?

Correct, no-go in a teener.

914 seats make great computer chairs! I've even converted the chairs at the shop.

I've got a kirkey aluminum drag seat as my office chair. I made it Christmas 2000 and it's still holding up well.
