Scarce in Dallas??? With the bunch of 914 folks I know in that area, I find that statement a bit hard to believe...

The 914 seats are very short. The distance from the upper surface of the bottom seat cushion (i.e., where you sit!) to the bottom of the mounting rails is about 4". You would be very hard-pressed indeed to find another (non-racing) seat with a similarly small dimension there.

This is not a problem if you have a ton of head-room that you can afford to lose. Me, I brush the top when I actually have the bottom seat cushion installed. No way another seat will work for me!!

The only other seats that seem to work reasonably (i.e., without sacrificing much room) in 914s are race seats, or seats built from 914 seats.
