Hello All-
I took a break from the 914 thing but now I'm back after a few year putting a barn found 73 back together. I modded some stock seats to have side bolsters and now that I put them in I notice that the driver's seat isn't really in line with the steering wheel but off to the right a bit. Stock seats, stock mounts. Is this normal? My last 914 has aftermarket seats so I don't have a point of reference. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) |

the skew whiff thing is nothing to complain about left hand drive.
wait till you have to sit skewed in a RHD beetle, type 3 or worst of all a 914. thats when you really sweat the clutch pedal, the steering wheel and the seat as you do your conversion of a "never made" rhd 914. it kind of works in beetles and 911s. nice and narrow between the seats. a 914 is so wiiiiiiiiiide.
