Has anyone weighted the full power later 928 seats or the 997 seats to see what the weight difference is ?
just weighed the seats out of the 81 49.8 # each

Digging up an old thread. So the 997/986/996 seats bolt straight in. Looks like most of them don't have a flat base with a turned down bit at the front. Any mods required?
Thanks

The rear mounts bolt right in. The front mounts you have to bolt through square track holes that line up. It's a PITA.
I'll also mention that the ones I did in my convertible are the manual sport seats and they're awesome. I just put anorher set into an 81 Euro S sunroof car and can tell you that the height is tight. The seat backs won't tip forward with the release even if all the way back and all the way down. They move enough to get access to the rear seats, and my son can slip through. I have to recline the seat more than I want to when driving to not have my hair hitting the roof. I'm 6'1" 200 lbs. If I were 5'8" to 5'10" I would be a much better fit in them.
They're still my favorites seats from a comfort and support perspective, but the rails are higher than 928 rails and the seat axk is a lot taller than 928 seats.

Actually if they sit higher they may not suit. I can handle not having the best rear access but height is an issue. I am 6 Foot tall and any sunroof clearance is a must.

Later, I'll measure the seat back heights of my sport seats and my wife's 997 comfort seats, which should be the same height as the 996 seats you have.

Petza today I recieved a pair of 997/987 seats and there are what look like positioning stems that stick down from the rails. They are towards the rear of the seat rails just forward of the holes for the anchoring bolts. Did you have to cut them or otherwise modify your 997 seats?

Drop the rear pegs into the forward of the 2 rear holes and use the bolt through the other rear hole. Those front ones will end up forward of the 928 floor rail and not be an issue. You have to put the front bolts through the square seat rail holes through the front hole in the 928 floor rail.
