I think all were like that. However, one of your seats (RHS I think) has non-standard runners, so I'm wondering whether those were screwed into the existing holes (5 per runner) as pictured below, or more holes were drilled into the seat bottom frame by the fitter? Would you be able to check?

If possible, can you please slide the lower rails off completely to make the upper rails visible and take a picture?

Could anyone advice is these are these correct for a LHD 71 S?

Would I be able to find some runners to make them work?

IMO (& many others) they are the best/most comfortable reclining seats that Porsche offered ...

They look very similar to my slightly later Recaro "Turbo" which apparently was the USA branding for Recaro LX or something - but I can confirm those are incredibly comfortable. You simply don't want to get out of them.

1988 3.2 Carrera backdate, Black
2001 996 Turbo, Lapis blue (am I allowed to put that here?)
I'm looking for a pre-impact bumper 911S or other high-revving 911 to restore - please let me know if you see one.
