Default Weight of Euro GT3 seats - 996

have you ever weighed one?
not looking for guesses.
I'm buying another set and am trying to calculate potential shipping costs.

Thank you.

Default Just had a pair shipped recently...

Hi Craig,

I just had a pair shipped by FedEx Ground recently. They did not have the seatbelt hardware but the package contained the sliders, bases, and a couple of Sparco bases for a 930. The Sparco bases should have weighed more than the missing seabelt mounts.

The total came to 86 lbs in a 50x25x22 wardrobe box.

Hope this helps -

Very helpful.
Thank you.

I'm surprised they are that heavy.
I think the seats are about 23 - 25 pounds (guessing, bad boy), but the metal adds up.

Cheers

Craig

You sir have great timing. I took my seats out today. Perlon GT3 bucket with Brey Krause mount and factory sliders. 27lbs with seatbelt installed.

I verified the weight several different ways (seats on wood on scale, me holding the seat and subtracting my weight) they all came out to 27lbs.

Good purchase
