Hi,

Looking for front seats for 1972 2.4s ? Anything out there ?

My friend has a pair of correct year recaro sport seats that are being completely refurbished. I have even removed all the locking mechanism which is being re-plated. They are complete with tilting frames and all hardware (bolts). The seats are due to be re-covered over the next few weeks so if you are interested PM me as you could chose colour/material. He was going to get them done in full leather (black).

Thanks

Weeeelll - I've just taken these out of my RS as I had a guilt trip about not having the original vinyls in - funnilly enough, having put them back in - I love them!

I purchased them from Germany and the console's (seat base frames) are on one of the seats in excellent condition, on the other, currently being restored - complete with correct leather headrests - if you're interested, PM me - but they ain't cheap

Sorry the headrest is wonky on this one - it's not like that normally

Car is virtually original other than the seats which are ( I believe ) from a later 911 SC , so just wanted to know if any suitable seats available .. WWClasics look good - you guys seem to like them therefore may have to consider that option instead I guess.

The WW ones are comfortable - I run the Nurburgring ones and really like them.

and those new RS Touring ones would really fit the bill.

I dont think they are original porsche ones.

The fittings on the base look different.

And where do you get the slider / base from.

Over priced and mis-described to me but I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.

The immediate giveaway is that they have the large 'hinge' on both sides of the seats - original Porsche-fitment (& others) have these only on the outside (the side closest to the door) of each seat.
