Default New GMG Aftermarket Seat mounting kit - 996/997/991/981



Introducing the new GMG Porsche seat base mounting kit for aftermarket one-piece bucket seat installation.
With limited space in the driver and passenger compartment, fitting aftermarket seats can be a difficult task due to the center console and protruding door panel. The system we have devised and tested supplies ample amount of adjustment so that these clearance issues can be resolved.

Features:

Sub strap mounting bar
In order to have the seat mounted as low as possible, the sub strap mounting bar allows the driver to eliminate eye bolts for sub strap mounting.

One-piece, 3/8 inch steel construction
To strengthen the design, we have eliminated the welding of mounting points and now use a stamped piece of 3/8 steel.

Range of adjustment
Three different widths are provided to accommodate a wide range of aftermarket seats, as well as clearance of the center console and door panel.

Factory Seat Belt Compatible
Added provisions are included to retain the factory seat belt receptacle.

Compatibility:

Sparco: Evo, Evo II, Evo II-US, Pro-ADV, Pro 2000
Sabelt: GT-160 (medium and large)
Recaro: SPG, Pole Position
Seat compatibility list is not limited to only these seats, feel free to call, PM or Email if there is another seat you would compatibility information on.

For all questions and inquiries, please email Dom@gmgracing.com

That sub strap mounting solution is cool, I never understood why more designers did not integrate it into the seat base.

why integrate, when they can charge you more for it!

Porsche tax. The worst part of paying extra for it is trying to figure out which sub bar plays nicely with what bases, sliders etc etc. What a headache.

I'm glad someone can relate to that pain! The "guess-work" and or modifying involved when piecing together a seat base kit can be pretty extensive and the result is usually not pretty

GT4 guys are going to love this - LWB are getting pulled from orders, so aftermarket seats are the path forward. Likely what I will be doing.

It has been a little over a year now since we released the seat mounting kit. Over the past months the mounting system has proved itself very convenient for many people looking to install aftermarket seats.

Here is a recent example of a more creative installation. This customer leather-wrapped a set of Sparco seats and mounted them to the chassis with the GMG seat mounting kits. Add in the GMG RSR Roll Cage, Schroth Harnesses, and CocoMats, and you have a a very nicely-appointed cockpit.
