Default Porsche 996 seats in 944
I have a pair of Recaro Polepositions mounted on 996 manual sliders. How hard is it to fit these in a 944?

early or late 944? Earlies have 4 bolts (10mm bolts) , lates have 6 (capscrews) - same pattern tho- just 2 extra bolt holes. Not sure - but you may have to swap the seat sliders.

The 996 seat bracket is different - you can't use those, but you may be able to use the slider / seat mounting bars from your original 944 seat.

IIRC you can pound that front mount which is angled flat so it will fit in the 944. I think Guns had 996 sliders in his 951 with the GT3 seats.
