Recaro seat sliders

I have some Recaro Topline seats that I want to mount in my SC. I have these Recaro labeled "adapters" and these seats.

I don't see any sliders.....am I missing something? Are these non adjustable or what are my options?

Those look like fixed mount, or spacers to me. You can bolt your standard Porsche sliders to Recaro seats. You may need to drill one extra hole, but it is obvious when you compare the two.

Yeah, I think you are right. Trying to remember how we did it on the SRDs. But that was like 15 years ago....

When I installed SRD's in my SC I just used the factory sliders. Never used the "adapters' that you have in your photo, Z.

You need sliders. The standard Recaro 0.70.9Nt will do the trick. Shouldn't need to drill any holes if you use the Recaro slider. I have a few sets that can ship today.

Do those adapters have a part number? The recaro slider will bolt to the floor in a 911, bolt spacing is right.

What are SRD's going for nowadays?

Say a matching pair in red set up for 5 point harnesses?

These are $500 for the pair. Set up for 5 point. They currently have black covers with red stitching. Under neath is black leather. The seat bottoms split at the seam (repairable).

Looks like these are keepers and the others are going back. The seller striped out the electrics on the passenger seats.

How tall are you? The pole position will cause spinal compression in anyone over 5'8" in the the event of a roll over.

For any race bucket though in that car you will need a vehicle specific base plate, sliders(if you want it to slide) and side mounts for the seat. The pole position comes with those, most other seats you buy them seperate. Pm me your height, waste size and inseam and I cam recommend a seat and build a package price for it.
