Has anyone ever installed Cobra Classic RS seats in a 914 (that you know of)? Any thoughts on them fitting in the stock backpad? I'm ready to take the plunge.

The shoulders hit the backpad just like my corbeau classic IIs. I just finished my install this past weekend.
The Corbeau's use stock rails, with the holes needing some widening, and about a 1/3" spacer between the stock rails and the seats. There are mount points built into the seats at the factory width. I plan to pull the backpad and put up a fabric back cover, with some sound deadening soon. Regardless, those are some fine lookin seats! |

When you get the chance can you post more details and pictures on the brackets you made that allow mounting on the stock rails? This is very interesting thread...the price is much more attractive than the current alternatives on the market and the look is very nice as well.

This is very interesting thread...the price is much more attractive than the current alternatives on the market and the look is very nice as well. Sure. They are pretty simple. When I make up my second set (now that I know what I'm doing, they will look much cleaner), I'll take some good pictures. But the concept I came up with seems to work. |
