What is the difference in a 914 passenger seat and the drivers seat? They look identical to me!

No, the drivers left side bolster has a scoop out of it so your hand can grad the ebrake.

Lots of 914's driving around with two passenger seats these days. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif)

Mine was one of those 914s with two passenger seats. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

FWIW, I found was that the handbrake was still easy to use.

BUT...

...there were more differences: the seat had a bit of a "lean" built into it so that it was uncomfortable for longer trips (anything over 30 minutes, and once I noticed it it pretty much bugged me all the time). Also, the backs of the headrests are angled differently to meet up with the (bowed) back window/firewall -- so that anyone with a keen eye will notice the ruse through the back window.

Solution = GTS Classics seats. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
