I picked up a pair of seats from a local classic car mechanic. They were all covered in dust up in his loft, and he couldn't remember where they came from.
They seem to fit pretty well, and I think look suitable for the era. And lots more side-to-side support than the stock seats. The previous seat that I was using (which you can see in the driver's spot) is comfy, but just too big and you sit too high. I also had a couple adaptor brackets fab'ed up so that I could still use the stock seat rails. I even added some 914 bling which, unfortunately, you can't really see once the seats are installed. (Excuse all the washers under the bracket -- I hadn't cut the bolts down yet.) Does anybody recognize the seat by any chance?    |

Those look like dune Buggy or kit car seats. That design has been around for years.

So just some cheap generic seats. Boring, oh well.
But I still like them! |
