Since I'm not completely pleased with my Sheel seat, I'm always looking for alternatives. I found this picture of a 904 seat. Almost looks like a modified 914 seat doesn't it? It looks comfortable. Anyone have a Speedster bucket seat in theirs? Thoughts?

They are comfortable IMO. Very similar to speedster seats. Try www.fibersteel.com/OldSite/Seats.htm

If you'd ever like to sell that Scheel seat - shoot me some pics of it - I might be your guy. I had a set of them in a different car in the '80s and loved (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) them!

Corbeau classic 2 is another nice one that is similar to the 904 and 914 GT seat. Lot cheaper too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Probably won't fit into the backpad though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Good tip on Fibersteel. Beautiful stuff.
Look at this seat. It's a reproduction 550 seat. I bet you could modify a 914 seat to look very similar..... Attached image(s)

Here's mine after I re-worked them. I used copper pipe for the frame then cut 3/4" plywood to fill the gap between the pipe and the stock seat then glassed over the whole thing.
Here's the before shot;  Here it is in the car. I cut off the headrest to emulate the 356 seats. My headrest is now attached to my harness bar.  |

After you glassed it all in are the side extension pieces stiff enough to handle getting in and out of the car ? I may have to " borrow " your idea. |

that's what I do! Group: Members Posts: 20,065 Joined: 27-December 02 From: Port Hope, Ontario Member No.: 26 Region Association: Canada |
This has me thinking on a custom seating project, as I'd love to turn my car into a 3 seater because I've got 2 kids.

Will not fit into the backpad but are otherwise comfortable and a reasonable price. Dave |
