Bucket seats tilting.

Don't know about 991 buckets but my euro 6 seats was held by 4 bolts on the side uprights(2 bolts per side- one by knee and one by butt side). When I installed a Sharkwerks fe bracket I removed the knee side bolts and tilted it upwards so had access to install bracket). So if seat tilted I think you can fabricate a side uprite with more holes to tilt seat back or maybe pre-existing side uprites have room for drilling holes. If seat is bolted like the euro 6- I think it's possible. If you don't like drilling the oem and if there's room for drilling holes - you can probably order the part. Mike

Reason No. 4581 why LWBs are not the panacea option for everyone.
Reason No. 8912 why LWBs need to be "test sitted" before spec'ing on any Porsche.
To the OP, hope you find a solution to your seat issue.
Worst comes to worst, you can always sell your LWBs and get a set of 18-way seats and pocket the spare change.

So we are manufacturing inserts to put under the front of the seats between the seats and the rail which will give the seat the much needed tilt. Still looking for plates with different holes, but none seem to fit the 991. Porsche Should have put different hole options so the buyer could fix his seat as he wished.
The LWBs have the switch to make it tilt, so that would have been ideal (not available in ME).

Funny I have the GT2 style buckets too and I find them to be a bit to0 leaning and would prefer that they be a bit more vertical (upright).
I found it easiest to just get used to them.

The thing is during my racing career I was driving F3 and have gotten used to that leaning position. When I switched to GT3 blancpain series, I also used to have a leaned seat along with my teammate to replicate the single seater position (we both come from single seater background). I find the GT2 seat too straight although comfortable. Will work on the leaning on Monday and will revert back.. Now, time to drive ...
