LWB sports seats in SWB

[Silver911SC]

Hi everyone

Apologies, I’ve been reading around and getting a bit confused. Hoping someone can clarify if that’s ok.

I know LWB Sports Seats are not the same as SWB, however I understand they fit, and I’d like to use the set I have.

My question is around sliding/tilting bases:

1. Would a set of LWB tilting bases fit in a SWB?
2. Would a set of LWB sliding bases fit a SWB?

And any thoughts or comments on what would be best in terms of sliding/tilting bases in a SWB, assuming I’m set on putting my LWB sports seats in there.

Really appreciate any help, and thank you for reading

LWB sport seats have to be used with LWB tilting bases & SWB sport seats have to be used with SWB tilting bases - you can't mix them.

As far as I remember, the mounting holes in both SWB & LWB tilting bases have the same spacing so you should be able to mount LWB sport seats/LWB tilting bases in a SWB car.

Thanks. So it sounds like both should fit. I’d be interested if anyone has any thoughts on the pros or cons or either of those bases in a swb. I wonder if tilting bases are just an unnecessary thing; they certainly add a lot of weight.

The LWB tilting bases are much heavier as the 'sliders' are part of the bases - the underside of the LWB seats themselves just have the 3-hole height-adjusting legs on them so need to be attached to the bases to allow fore/aft adjustment.
