Len 911 · Len 911's Garage

Ok I need help..i have 83 sport seats out of a 84 944..I have an 85 911 with electric seats and want to install the sport seats. The sport seats have different seat rails and no seat belt mounts.. what do I need to install these ??
Help please just spent a ton of money on leather covers and new seat foam....so I really need to make these work.

Thanks

Check out Rennline conversion mounts.
Check out Recaro mounts.
(that's the easy way out)
You might end up mounting a pair of tunnel receivers from SC.

BTW, if your question is correct, the title of your thread is incorrect.
944 seats are not SC seats.

I thought 911 and 944 sport seats are the same? They have manual sliders and the turn knobs..I pulled them from a 944 but I know they were not original to the car..

They are

Yeh, 924/9244/911/928 seats of the same era seem to be identical. I almost bought a running 924 from Craigslist once because the sports seats were worth the asking price for the entire car...

I've got 944 rails (used to be ~20% of the price of 911 rails on Flea Bay) bolted to my sport seats right now. And some years of 911 sport seats have 928 part #'s when you look them up in PET...

Len,

Could you post some pictures of the bottom sections of these seats. I have been using car seats from 944 in my 911’s and never had any issues. As far as I know, they are identical and you can not tell the difference between these seats.
