I did do some searching, I swear!
I'm doing a 2.7/Weber swap into my '72. With a 916 trans/LSD.
It's a street car, but I will occasionally go for track days.
I want to be held lovingly and closely by my seats. I don't mind installing some harnesses.
I know there must be lots of choices. I know they need to be low; do you guys just bolt them to the floor?
Here is one idea; but what is commonly done? Thanks guys.
Cobra Nogaro Circuit
I bought a Corbeau seat and set out to find the proper bracket for a 914. Several sites advertised the same mounting bracket and all were close to the same price. What I got was not the same pictured or configuration as advertised. What I got were 2 pieces of flat steel brackets about 1/4" x 2"x 13" with holes drilled in each end which centered on the seat front and back. The kit also included bolts for the seat to bracket.
I called Corbeau, gave them the serial number on the receipt. Corbeau said the bracket were made to mount the 2 bracket to the OEM seat rails.
What I ended up having to do was to drill my seat rails to fit the drilled hole in the brackets, I had to add washers to space enough to wrench the brackets bolts to the rails.
The seat sits to high even though I am 5"11" and on the thin side it's difficult to access the seat. I even have a smaller the OEM steering wheel I'm not sure if anyone else has encountered this, but please let me know if you came up with a fix. I am newly retired and on a budget, so I am trying to make the dollars count.
Furthermore if you show a picture on your website and send me something else without an explanation is extremely disingenuous. Mike Kelly
