Default Recaro Pole Postion vs GT3 seat comparison

I'm changing out my Pole Positions for GT3's and while I have both, thought a side by side comparison was in order. The GT3 has 996 side mount brackets while the Pole has Speedware side mounts and Recaro sliders. Both seats weigh about the same - GT3 at 19 lbs, Pole at 18. With brackets and sliders, they are both 29 lbs. These weights were taken on a bathroom scale so accuracy is +/-. I took width measurements at the side seat belt ports and at the forward bracket mount point. Both models are exactly the same dimensions. There are slight differences in the seat pan and the back contours. One significant find with the 1" difference in the spread of the side bracket mount holes. This is shown in the pictures.

Mark,

Got a shot of the Speedware brackets? I am looking for some brackets for my SPG XL passenger seat and the BK/Recaro ones don't seem to fit.

Thanks - Marc

Are those marks on the back of my seats going to rub out?

Look wise, I will prefer a set of PP in a narrow 64 or 93, otherwise a GT3 fits well in both models.
