912 Seats

Post by Diego Milano »

My 912 is being fully restored and we are now onto the interior.... The original headrestless vinyl seats are to get seat refub kits....

A friend with a 69 911 mentioned it might be a better idea getting a new seat in leather from say Torino. Costs a bit more but maybe a better solution.

Has anyone gone down this route? Any advice ?

Many thanks

Depends if you want to keep stock or go with something modified?

I decided to store my original seats and went for period looking sports seat. I found the originals far too bouncy and didn't hold you in sufficiently when using the car in a more "sporting" manner. Mounted carefully using existing mounting positions, its a 10 minute job to switch back to the originals and no damage to the shell.

Speak to Garry, on here as visualfx, http://classiccarrestorationsurrey.co.uk/

He will be able to advise on the best route. He can do it for you, or supply leather or a kit. I think
