Here's what the website says:
BOMZ Racing Seats were manufactured with the best material and design. We have the largest colors selection in the market and the price you see is the price for a pair of racing seats for Driver and Passenger. We want to keep the cost of fixing up ride reasonable and this is why our introductry price is so low. The BOMZ racing seat is built with memory foam, roll over tubular interior cage, lumbar support, side support, and adjustable recline mechanisms. All Bomz seats come standard with patented universal sliders that can be used to bolt these seats to virtually any stock brackets. Installation can be done with little or no modification. No other seat combination comes with such a dynamic installation kit “FREE”.

doubt it, the back pad on a 914 is fit to a headrest much tighter than those seat have.

If you carpet the back wall instead of using the backpad, then maybe

I'd call and ask about a 914 if it were me. Our little jems have a slightly different method of mounting the seats than the new cars have. You might ask about the outside width too since there is a e-brake handle on the left and a tunnel on the right of the driver's seat.

I bought a set of Corbeau seats to go in mine because it was cheaper to buy new than have old re-covered and they are more comfortable...I measured and measured and measured...But I don't think they are going to fit using the original slider seat mechanism...They will be too tall for me, in the car...My wife is fine but she is only 5'6''...I'm 6 feet tall...They fit in all other aspects, even with the E-brake handle...

Now, I have come up with a plan to "Bolt" them in and it will work, but I will loose the up and down & slide capability...

They look very close to your picture in style, shape, etc... Just look at the situation from that perspective...
