I did do some searching, I swear!
I'm doing a 2.7/Weber swap into my '72. With a 916 trans/LSD. It's a street car, but I will occasionally go for track days. I want to be held lovingly and closely by my seats. I don't mind installing some harnesses. I know there must be lots of choices. I know they need to be low; do you guys just bolt them to the floor? Here is one idea; but what is commonly done? Thanks guys. Cobra Nogaro Circuit (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-22247-1539106203.1.jpg) |

Cobra Nogaro Circuit (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-22247-1539106203.1.jpg) I bought a Corbeau seat and set out to find the proper bracket for a 914. Several sites advertised the same mounting bracket and all were close to the same price. What I got was not the same pictured or configuration as advertised. What I got were 2 pieces of flat steel brackets about 1/4" x 2"x 13" with holes drilled in each end which centered on the seat front and back. The kit also included bolts for the seat to bracket. I called Corbeau, gave them the serial number on the receipt. Corbeau said the bracket were made to mount the 2 bracket to the OEM seat rails. What I ended up having to do was to drill my seat rails to fit the drilled hole in the brackets, I had to add washers to space enough to wrench the brackets bolts to the rails. The seat sits to high even though I am 5"11" and on the thin side it's difficult to access the seat. I even have a smaller the OEM steering wheel I'm not sure if anyone else has encountered this, but please let me know if you came up with a fix. I am newly retired and on a budget, so I am trying to make the dollars count. Furthermore if you show a picture on your website and send me something else without an explanation is extremely disingenuous. Mike Kelly |
