Looking for a little help on the physical seat dimensions of the 914 stock seats. Height, Width in the middle and bottom width. I don't have seats in my car and am looking at buying a set of Braum elite series seats.

I have the dimensions of the Braum seats but need to compare the two.

Even better and a long shot if anyone has replaced their stock seats with the Braum Elite series feel free to share any pitfalls or any goods news that you had with install.

Appreciate any feedback.

Cheers,

Most of the seats with the high side bolster are not any fun getting in and out of. I really like my stock 45 year old seats, easy to slide into...I did cut the head rest off for a better speedster look. Mark Attached Image

i guess in this situation you could do like the factory 914/6 race car at Brumos museum i saw had, it was just a pad they placed right on the window as the head rest , i guess better than hitting the back of your head on the rear window, huh Clay?
seriously, i dont think you want have your head hit the back window, i have been thinking about getting a pad to put there even with my seats now. - BTW @mlindner beautiful car!
I like the speedster look as well, and good point about the wide wing type bolster.
