Seat Parts wanted

Post by Highfield »

In my LHD 911 73T I have two right hand (passenger) seats fitted as Tuthills did not have a good left hand driver's seat.

I need parts to convert one - do I need chrome side sections with mechanisms and leavers etc?

Alternatively swap for good left hand seat from perhaps a RHD car - my passenger seat becomes your drivers.

All very confusing I know :shock:

Ian - '73 seats should have black wrinkled paint finish on the seat 'hinges' - chrome was used on the '69-'71 seats.

Do your seats have chrome 'hinges' ?

If so I may have the mechanism/hinges from a driver's seat.

Thanks Guys - it would seem that the closest to 1973 seats that Tuthills could find were in fact earlier versions - the 'L' shape that joins the bottom and side of the seat is chrome.

Both seats are in very good order (no wear or rips etc.), being passenger seats for LHD (i.e. Driver for RHD).

I would really like to swap them out for either genuine 1973 seats or a set of wwclassics RS Touring Replicas (cannot afford genuine sports seats, as they seem to be £1,750 upwards).

Failing that, I would take the parts to convert one of my seats to be genuine 'left side' so the backrest adjustment, tilt and forward / backward leavers are on the correct side.

Prices / Pictures etc. please
