You can get them from Arling or Wheel Enhancement

They are very good seats, just heavy.

Would you mind measuring the vertical distance from the shell base to the bottom of each of the guide cutouts in the head? (In other words, I want to see if this seat will fit me from the top of the shoulder to the bottom of the ... um ... bottom.)

I tried the 996 GT3 euro seat rails and sliders, they do not fit.
