911SC seats into 914..., Progress... Options

[Brando]

Wellp, I've cut the first rear support bar that will lift the rear of the seat up and also attach to the stock 914 "hinges" on the floor. I'll start some welding in a momen, as I have to put tabs on the bottom to mount the two together. Sorry for lack of pictures, digital camera not accessible.

Turns out I will have enough room for the seats in the seatwells. Only problem is on the driver's side, I dont think i'll have room for my parking brake handle. Any suggestions? Maybe moving it up about a foot so it clears the seatwell completely? Wonder if that's possible...

thanks for the pointers on the handle. I think i will offset the drivers' side on the bracket i've made to the right (center) tomorrow. My progress tonight has been hindered because i need 2 bolts that have the same threading as the bolts that hold the normal buckets to their rails. Except about ½ an inch longer. Hardware store, here I come! Also will be needin more oxygen for my benz-o-matic home gas welder. One bottle only lasted me one bracket (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) And Aaron, you got it right. I'm doing this because i'm a bit (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif). Actually it's to make driving the car more comfortable. 911 seats in leather > 914 seats in pleather when it comes to comfort. Also i think i could put together a quick kit if anyone else wanted to do this sort of thing. Instructions, brackets, bolts... all they would have to supply is the seats. Could be made out of steel (same as i got) or taken to a nearby machine shop and made from billet aluminum. Steel would probably be better in the safety aspect, though.

Pictures will come tomorrow, after i get one bolted in.
