Question 996 seats in a 993?

In my quest for perfect supple leather full power seats for my 993, I had one company ask me if I wanted mint condition 996 seats. They were unable to tell me what modifications would be necessary to fit them in a 993. Can anyone tell me if 996 seats would fit in a 993, what modifications would it take, and would the mods be easily reverseable if I were to put them in?

Thanks!

They won't fit without custom bracketry fabrication. I don't know anyone who has done it.

Have you driven up to LA Porsche Dismantlers? They might be able to point you in the right direction regarding the fabrication Viken is talking about.

Actually, I gave them a whole shopping list of things I wanted, including the 993 seats, but we never were able to conclude any business. After 6 weeks of waiting I found most of the items elsewhere, with a final phone message that I should probably look somewhere else for the seats. Come to think of it, a guy from Road & Race wasn't happy with me when he found out I actually had the nerve to call as many different companies as I could find in my quest for seats. He seemed to expect that I should deal only with them. Not a chance, pal...... <img src="graemlins/nono.gif" border="0" alt="[nono]" />

Hmmmm........two different companies pissed at me? Maybe it IS me afterall!
