maybe not what you are looking for, but this is the direction i went because when i got my car, not runnning etc, the seats also were shot, the vinyl was so brittle it was cracking to the touch, what was left, and the foam was really bad too, so i would have needed all of that. i found these 911/993 seats in pretty good shape. the inserts are clean and nice, the bolsters have some checking but after treatment with saddle soap and mink oil they softened up, but for the price i have nice seats that cost 1/2 or less than restoring the originals and they are much more comfortable- wider, longer and taller- I'm 6'2'' and the regular 914 seats were a bad whiplash waiting to happen- so for now, this is what i have----

Ooh these are nice. They fit with the backpad and the ebrake? How much work to get the rails to work? Are they hooked up for power?

They are 8 way electric wired . The seats fit nicely in the back pad, i had a new fiberglass backpad from 914ap and had him cover it in 1/8'' foam and new vinyl rather than the thick foam that is used originally.
