I've had a look through old threads, but I would like some fresh and specific answers.

I can't seem to detach the seat belt receiver from my original seats... I've soaked the bolt in WD40 but no avail. Am I missing something?

Once I have the receivers off where do they mount to on the Recaros?

Bellow you'll find a picture illustrating the screw where I'm assuming the receiver can be mounted on the Recaro.... This seems like quite a flimsy place to attach... Am I missing a bracket of sorts?

TIA

I think what you will want to do is sandwich the receiver bracket between the side mounts and the slider. The stock receiver bracket won't have the correct hole spacing to line up with the holes in the side mount/slider, so you will either need to modify something, or buy a new receiver. I think Brey-Krause makes one?
Someone else (Bill Verburg) might have more definitive info than I, since my receivers are mounted to the tunnel.

If you get stuck call me, but for now you will need a socket that is ground flush to remove the reciever bolt as the hex is very shallow. With a socket you can use a breaker bar with plenty more leverage than your spanner.

As for remounting them, you will need a little bracket from Porsche that the RS uses. It fits between the subframe and the runner as said above.

None of this is easy, it took me 2 days solid and I am an engineer!!!

Brilliant thanks Scott. I used an angle grinder and sawed straight through

I'll pop down to the local OPC after work.

They came up on eBay with the runners and bracket at a good price! Old seats now on eBay.

They're so comfortable! Next will be a B pillar harness guide...

Scott what is the part number for that little the bracket in question?

Frank, part number for the bracket in the diagram in this thread:

I believe you need the four spacer washers for each seat too.

p.s. Sit down before you ask the price of the brackets.

which seats did u end up going for mate? Recaro PP's?? Did u get a good deal?

Thanks for the link Steve

I'll sit down when I get there Spacer washers???? Huh?

They are Pole Positions in black. The original seats are unbelievably heavy, you should consider going light-weight Andrew, after all "You are the biggest Aussie to fit in a 964"

PS. How was Bedford? Did you both go in the end? Pictures?

Spacer washers are item #27 on that diagram. The bracket goes between the mount and the slider which creates a gap, therefore you need the spacers to fill the gap between the other three corners (so you need 3 spacers per seat, not four as I said above).

Makes sense! I'll buy the appropriate washers from B&Q - have a feeling they'll be cheaper than Porsche! Thanks again Steve!

Yep there on "FT".............can you order me a bolt FP as they dont pick up the phone at afn chiswick parts as given it 3 goes now and no call back???......

alexjc4

lol "FT"

Frank, you are some type of an unstoppable robot sent from the future to modify your car!

@fuch AFN Chiswick are rubbish on the phone, after a couple of attempts I decided they didn't want my custom so I now use OPC Byfleet aka Camtune and they are somewhat better.

Are the Pole Positions lower than the original seat, adjusting for any mounting related height changes?
Thanks,
Alex

I couldn't help it, was the 'responsible' thing to do. I saved around £ 400, had I bought everything new... I'd have regretted it.

The trouble is they say there are some guys that always have to have a project car. There was an immaculate Carrera 4 sold by Phil Raby featured in Total 911, the owner had ploughed an obscene amount of years and money into it to have it perfect. And he sold it for the next project...

I am absolutely determined to not be one of those guys. When I'm done I won't sell! Besides theres no way one black C4 is enough in the London 964 group!

To me they seam the same height, if not a little higher. But this can be changed regarding the way in which they are mounted.
