Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Looking into purchasing some recaro pole positions but unsure if I can use the existing seat runners or not? I'll need side mounts but I not sure about the slide mechanism and runners. Anyone reused when sitting seats like these or do I have to buy the recaro sliders too? many thanks

POST 2Original post

You can use the existing runners Use the search facility for the his sub forum and you'll come up with a few threads that detail what different people have done. In my opinion, the best method was one Pye21 used which was get your own side mounts made up and used the existing runners. It's probably also the cheapest, and most likely to work as near to OEM as possible. The notable issue around fixing the seatbelt receiver, and having space for it in between the centre console and the seat being the biggest.

POST 3Original post

Hi :bye: I actually have a spare set of brand new mounts and OE 996 Runners that im about to put up for sale. I have just done a minor redesign on my mounts and incorporated mounts into the sidemounts for harness's, as well as being able to accommodate the OE seatbelt latch. I made a couple of sets, so im selling the spare set. If you drop me a PM I can send you some pics.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks everyone and PMd. Currently sat at RPM waiting for my service and taking the opportunity to sit various different recaros and GT3 seats!

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just looking at the D911 DTX seats (they seem to have stopped doing the GT3 reps?) and they look good value for carbon folding seats? also come with runners and side brackets built in so you only need to buy an adapter plate. Has anyone fitted these or have any experience of them? do they sit lower in the car than stock sports seats?

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Now got all the required hardware, just need to fit it all! Does anyone know the correct torque for the bolts that mount the seats to the side mounts? I really don't want to strip the thread / snap a bolt off in the seat from overtightening.
