Greetings!!

Is anyone using Konig seats?

I am trying to install a new pair I bought a few years ago and cannot seem to get the original allen head bolts on.. They go in about a half turn and stop.. I don't want to strip/cross thread the holes and wonder if they require special hardware.

Feedback would be greatly appreciated!!

Cheers

they are nothing out of the ordinary. You need to chase those threads with some oil and maybe some "sacrificial screws" to get those threads opened up smoothly. They are not 100% perfectly aligned like OEM seats, so, you need to be patient and methodical in attaching the tracks. If alignment is off, then I would err on the side of enlarging the track holes, since tracks are readily plentiful. The harbor Freight tap and die set should help you get this project done. load the screw in a counterclockwise direction and listen for a click, this is a technique used when reattaching grip screws on a handgun. once you hear the click, the screw is seated on the first thread, then you proceed with turning the screw by hand and feel it loading into the hole. then chase it fully down the entire path of the threading.

Thank You for replying and providing detailed instructions!!

The screws in my vintage Schools are NOT the same size as the screws that fit the factory seats.

That is my experience. I would try some different sizes.

Are you old enough to have " vintage schools "?

The screw inserts in the seat bottoms of my Konigs did not work with the factory rails and bases. I had to adjust the screw holes in the rails.

Mine matched right up with no issues

I'm with Dave, mine fit with stock hardware. Not 'exactly' the same so you need to just keep all fasteners loose until you fit them all then torque down

Thanks again to all who replied.

I tried tightening one bolt and it went in smoothly after a few turns.

Beautiful car!!!

nice seats!

pics please!
