Mid-Year Sport Seats in an 87 Question
I am installing a pair of mid-year (1974-1977) sport seats in my 1987 Carrera 3.2. The seat belt recepticles for the 1987 seats are on the seat frame itself. The mid-year sport seats do not have seat belt recepticles attached to the seat frame.
I assume the recepticles were attached to the chassis tunnel on the earlier cars. (1) Does my 1987 have attachment points for the seat belt recepticles on the tunnel? (2) Can I just use the recepticles from my 1987 seats by attaching them to the chasis? Thank you in advance for the help. Mike Last edited by MOMO3.2; 03-25-2006 at 04:35 PM.. |

Mike,
In the 85 911 model, the tunnel mounted seat belt receptacles were eliminated. You can certainly weld in the inserts to the tunnel, challenging. I would try to adapt your late seat belt receptacles to the pivot / side plates. Take one of the screws out, add washers and mount the late receptacles. Good Luck - Call anytime if you need additional assistance. Thank you, Jason |

Thank you very much for the information Jason. I will take a look at mounting them on the side of the seat.
Jason, do you have any 16X9 used Fuchs? Give me a PM if you do. Mike |

Use seat rails from non power seats 86 -89 or so. Your seat belt receiver will then bolt to them and they will attach to your early seats

Thats also a good idea - The issue with that is when you go to sell your old seats - Its a challenge selling them without sliders or correct sliders.
Mike - Only new 9s - Will send you a pm. Thank you, Jason |

After conducting another search on this subject, I learned that the Brey Krause adapter that fits on the seat rails will foul the heater box on the center console. I read a post, however, that shows a Porsche part for the RSA will work. It is part #964.521.065.00.
