Does anyone have 911 porsche seats in their beetle?
i just want to know if there is any dramas getting them in, ie. any clearance issues, how did you mount them etc.
Cheers

I know Custom Offroad installed a pair into my mate's ghia - a lot harder than beetle as the seats sit so much lower. No probs getting them into a bug (he had the frames for a beetle pan before getting them modified to the kg).

Thanks everyone but the seats I was looking at turned out to be crapola so this little project has been halted in its tracks.

Havent seen any mounted in a beetle, but all the 911's I've seen only have 4, 6mm bolts holding them to the floor.......:jesus Thats the same size as the tinware screws on the beetle engine.....and thats all thats holding you in place in an accident......:puke

Probably as good as the few pissy little spot welds holding bug seat rails on... except you would tend to hit things at a much greater rate of knots in a 911
