I just pulled full power leather seats out of my 87 Targa. They were exactly 60 lbs. each.

I just bought these.... http://www.hunsakersports.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=194
After sitting in more seats than I can remember I found these to be the most comfortable. Paid $350 for the pair shipped and they only weigh 20-25lbs. |

For a car that is not going to be tracked, but maybe used for an occasional DE where a 5 or 6 point harness is not necessary, I really like the Factory manual Sport Seats. I bought a pair from a 1979 Turbo and installed them in my 87 Carrera. They replaced the full power/full leather 60# seats I had in there. What a difference. Much, much lighter, excellent feel and support, and they maintain the factory look too.
I have been on a couple 5+ hour road trips with them and would not trade them for anything. Mike |

The gap between the new seat rails was 14 inches. So I had to mount a steel plate to the rails of the new seats and then mount that plate to the exisiting rails. It was annoying but pretty easy. |
