Handmade around a welded lightweight steel tube frame, the TransAm combines high lateral support, a low seating position and Duralastic suspension to create a classic competition-style seat suitable for restoration, restomod and historic motorsport-inspired cars.

This version is designed for cars using a 5-point harness and features the required seatbelt cut-outs with finishing rosettes.

Inspired by Classic Trans-Am Racing

The Trans-Am race series brought together some of the most recognisable performance cars of the period, including Mustang, Cougar, Corvette, Camaro, Porsche, Challenger, Datsun, Charger, AMC, Triumph and Jaguar.

Many competition cars used lightweight fibreglass, alloy or specially fabricated racing seats to provide drivers with greater support during demanding race conditions.

The Retro Trim TransAm recreates this purposeful appearance while providing a seat suitable for today's classic car enthusiast.

High Lateral Support

The TransAm features raised side bolsters extending towards the front of the seat to provide increased lateral support.

This helps hold the driver more securely during enthusiastic driving while maintaining the distinctive appearance of a traditional 1960s and 1970s competition seat.

Designed for a 5-Point Harness

This version incorporates dedicated openings for routing the waist/lap belts of a 5-point harness.

Seatbelt cut-out rosettes are included, providing a neat finished edge around the harness openings while maintaining the classic appearance of the seat.

Lightweight Steel Tube Frame

The seat is handmade using a welded lightweight steel tube frame, providing a strong foundation while retaining the lightweight philosophy of traditional competition seating.

Fire-resistant foam and Duralastic suspension belts provide a firm but comfortable seating position, helping make the TransAm suitable for longer road journeys as well as historic motorsport-inspired applications.

Low Seating Position

The TransAm seat itself is non-adjustable and is designed to position the driver as low as practical within the vehicle.

Final seat height and angle are determined during installation, allowing the mounting arrangement to be selected to suit the driver and vehicle.

An optional tilting bracket is available where improved access to rear seating is required.

Have Your Seats Upholstered Locally

Supplying the TransAm as a seat frame kit allows the upholstery to be completed by your preferred local trimmer or interior restoration specialist.

This gives you the freedom to choose leather, vinyl, fabric or period-style materials and match the seats to an existing classic interior or create a completely bespoke specification.

Kit Includes

• Seat frame
• Duralastic suspension belts
• Side foam
• Back foam
• Seat cushion

Handmade using a lightweight glass fibre shell, the ST combines authentic period styling with a slightly taller and wider design for improved comfort and accommodation of taller drivers.

This version is designed for cars retaining standard 3-point seatbelts.

Classic Porsche ST-Inspired Design

The ST-style bucket seat was used in early Porsche 911s and other competition cars of the period, including Ford applications.

Retro Trim has retained the distinctive shape and support of the original ST design while introducing subtle changes to make the seat more practical for today's classic Porsche driver.

The shell is slightly taller and wider than the original, providing additional space without losing its period appearance.

Lightweight Glass Fibre Shell

The ST uses a lightweight glass fibre shell with a laminated-in reinforcement grid around the mounting areas.

This provides additional support at the seat mounting points while maintaining the lightweight construction associated with classic competition seats.

Duralastic suspension belts work with the fire-resistant foam to provide a firm but comfortable seating position suitable for road, rally and historic motorsport use.

Designed for a 5-Point Harness

This version incorporates openings to correctly route the waist/lap belts of a 5-point harness and is supplied with rosettes for these openings.

The seat design also provides guidance for the harness belts while maintaining the appearance and supportive profile of the original ST seat.

Harness installation must use suitable vehicle mounting points and follow the harness manufacturer's instructions and any applicable motorsport regulations.

Lower Seating Options for Taller Drivers

The redesigned ST is slightly taller and wider than the original to accommodate a broader range of drivers.

For particularly tall drivers, the seat can also be customised with a lower seating position, providing additional headroom while retaining the appearance of a traditional ST-style bucket seat.

Original-Style Recaro Mounting Pattern

The seat incorporates both the Retro Trim mounting pattern and an original-style Recaro mounting pattern.

This allows the ST to be used with suitable original or original-style sliders and brackets, making it easier to incorporate into period-correct classic car installations.

Have Your Seats Upholstered Locally

Purchasing the ST as a seat shell kit allows your preferred local upholsterer or interior restoration specialist to complete the finished seats.

This gives you the freedom to select leather, leatherette, vinyl, fabric or period-style materials to match the existing interior or create a bespoke classic Porsche specification.

Fits

• Porsche 911 / 912 1965–89
• Porsche 911 2.0L / 912 SWB 1965–68
• Porsche 911 2.2L / 2.4L / 2.7L RS LWB 1968–73

• Porsche 914
• Porsche 964 Carrera 2 / Carrera 4 1989–93

What This Product Does

A seat shell kit is the structural and padded starting point for building a complete classic car seat. Instead of supplying a finished seat in a predetermined colour or material, the kit can be passed to a vehicle trimmer for covering in leather, vinyl, cloth or corduroy. This allows the upholstery, stitching, piping and other finishing details to be selected to suit the vehicle’s existing cabin or restoration specification.

The Spa-Francorchamps design follows the profile of purpose-built sports seats associated with the late 1960s and early 1970s. Its square-tube construction, formed side and back padding, separate cushion and headrest create a period-style bucket seat suitable for classic road cars and interior restoration projects. This version is intended for use with a suitable 3-point seat belt arrangement.

Functions

• Provides the supporting frame and shaped padding for an upholstered seat
• Allows the covering material and trim details to be specified separately
• Uses flexible Duralastic belts to support the padded seating areas
• Creates a period-inspired sports-seat shape with defined side support
• Includes a separate headrest for completing the seat assembly
• Supports installation with an appropriate 3-point belt system

Technical Details

• Square steel-tube frame construction
• Includes the seat frame and Duralastic suspension belts
• Supplied with formed side and back foam
• Seat cushion and headrest are included
• Fire-resistant foam is used within this type of seat kit
• Incorporates 360 mm Porsche 914 and standard 385 mm mounting patterns

Symptoms of Fault

• Original seat foam has compressed, hardened or become misshapen
• The cushion sags or provides uneven support
• Corrosion, fatigue or previous repairs have weakened the existing frame
• Suspension straps beneath the cushion have stretched or failed
• Seat movement or rattling indicates worn mounting components
• A complete foundation is required for an interior restoration

Why Replacement Matters

Beginning with a complete frame and foam kit gives the trimmer a consistent base on which to shape and tension the upholstery. It avoids applying new covers over deteriorated padding or a damaged structure and provides greater control over the finished appearance. Seat height, angle and adjustment will depend on the runners and vehicle-specific mounting hardware selected. Seat mounts, belt anchorages and belt routing are safety-critical, so installation should be completed or inspected by a suitably experienced specialist.

FAQs

• Is upholstery included? No. The kit is supplied untrimmed so that a vehicle trimmer can apply the required covering and finishing details.
• What components are supplied? The kit includes the steel frame, suspension belts, side and back foam, seat cushion and headrest.
• Can the seat be matched to the existing interior? Yes. A trimmer can select suitable material, colour, stitching and piping to complement the cabin.
• Are seat runners and vehicle brackets included? Mounting components should be selected separately for the vehicle and required seating position.

• 911 Turbo 3.3L (930) 1978–1989
• 964 Carrera 2 / Carrera 4 1989–1993

What This Product Does

A seat frame kit is an untrimmed foundation rather than a fully finished seat. It combines the supporting structure, suspension and shaped padding needed before upholstery is fitted. A professional vehicle trimmer can then apply leather, vinyl, cloth or corduroy to suit the car's interior, allowing the covering, stitching and piping to be specified as part of the restoration.

The Spa-Francorchamps design is based on the shape of period sports seats used during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Its square-tube frame, formed cushioning and separate headrest create a classic bucket-seat profile suitable for period-inspired road, restoration and competition-style interiors. Openings are incorporated for a suitable 5-point belt installation, with the supplied rosettes providing a tidy edge around the cut-outs.

Functions

• Forms the structural and padded base for a complete upholstered seat
• Allows trim material, stitching and finishing details to be selected separately
• Uses flexible Duralastic suspension belts beneath the padded areas
• Provides shaped foam for the backrest and side sections
• Accommodates an appropriate 5-point belt arrangement
• Includes cut-out rosettes for finishing the belt openings

Technical Details

• Square steel-tube frame construction
• Kit includes the frame, Duralastic suspension belts, side and back foam, seat cushion and headrest
• Fire-resistant foam is used within this type of seat kit
• Prepared with openings for a 5-point belt configuration
• Seatbelt cut-out rosettes are supplied
• Incorporates 360 mm Porsche 914 and standard 385 mm mounting patterns

Symptoms of Fault

• Original seat foam has compressed, hardened or lost its shape
• The cushion sags or provides uneven support
• Corrosion, fatigue or earlier repairs have affected the existing frame
• Suspension components beneath the seat have stretched or failed
• Worn upholstery has exposed deteriorated padding
• A complete untrimmed foundation is required for an interior rebuild

Why Replacement Matters

Starting with a complete frame and foam kit gives the trimmer a consistent structure on which to form and tension the upholstery. It avoids fitting new covers over tired padding or damaged supporting parts and allows the finished seat to be tailored to the vehicle's colour scheme and intended use. Final seat height, angle and fore-and-aft adjustment depend on the selected mounting brackets and runners. Seat mounts, belt anchorages and belt routing are safety-critical, so installation should use appropriate vehicle-specific hardware and be checked by a suitably experienced specialist.

FAQs

• Is upholstery included? No. The kit is supplied untrimmed for finishing by a suitable vehicle trimmer.
• What is supplied? The principal contents are the steel frame, suspension belts, formed side and back foam, cushion and headrest.
• Are the belt-opening rosettes included? Yes. This version comes with rosettes for the 5-point belt cut-outs.
• Are runners and vehicle brackets supplied? Mounting components should be selected to suit the vehicle, installation and required seating position.
• Can the upholstery be matched to the existing cabin? A trimmer can select appropriate material, colour, stitching and piping to complement the interior.

Solitude Seat Frame and Foam Kit - 3 Point Seat Belt
Sold each

The Solitude Seat Frame and Foam Kit provides an untrimmed fixed-seat foundation for Porsche 356 models built from 1950 to 1965. Configured for a 3-point seat-belt installation, it allows the upholstery material, stitching, piping and final finish to be selected separately for a restoration or individually specified interior. 

Fits

• Porsche 356 1950–55
• Porsche 356A 1955–59
• Porsche 356B 1959–63
• Porsche 356C 1963–65

What This Product Does

A seat frame kit supplies the principal structural and cushioning components required before trimming. Instead of replacing the seat with a pre-upholstered unit, the frame, suspension and shaped padding can be handed to a vehicle trimmer for covering in suitable leather, vinyl or fabric. This enables the finished seat to complement the materials and detailing already used within the cabin.

The Solitude has a period-influenced profile developed for classic Porsche 356 Roadster, Speedster, GT and Outlaw-style projects. Its fixed bucket form provides more defined side support than a conventional comfort-seat shape while retaining proportions appropriate for a classic interior.

Functions

• Forms the structural and padded base for a complete upholstered seat
• Uses flexible suspension belts beneath the seating area
• Provides shaped cushioning for the base, backrest and side sections
• Allows upholstery, stitching and piping to be specified independently
• Supports a more defined seating position within a classic 356 cabin
• Accommodates an installation intended for 3-point seat belts

Technical Details

• Protected tubular-steel frame
• Fixed bucket-seat construction without an integrated reclining mechanism
• Duralastic suspension belts beneath the cushion
• Fire-resistant foam material
• Includes frame, suspension belts, side and back foam, seat cushion and headrest
• Approximate untrimmed weight: 7.3 kg

Symptoms of Fault

• Seat foam has become hard, compressed or uneven
• The cushion sags or offers inconsistent support
• Corrosion, fatigue or earlier repairs have weakened the existing frame
• The backrest or side padding no longer retains its shape
• Worn upholstery has exposed damaged foam or suspension parts
• A complete foundation is required for a seat restoration

Why Replacement Matters

Renewing the frame, flexible suspension and padding together gives the trimmer a stable, correctly shaped base for the new upholstery. It also prevents fresh covers from being fitted over deteriorated foam or compromised structural components. As this is a fixed seat, the installed height and backrest angle are established through the selected runners, brackets and mounting arrangement. Seat mounts and belt anchorages are safety-critical, so suitable vehicle-specific hardware should be used and the completed installation checked by an experienced specialist.

FAQs

• Is upholstery supplied? No. The kit is untrimmed, allowing a vehicle trimmer to apply the chosen covering and finishing details.
• Which components are included? The kit comprises the tubular frame, suspension belts, shaped side and back foam, seat cushion and headrest.
• Does the backrest recline? No. It uses a fixed bucket structure; the final tilt and seating height depend on the installation hardware.
• Are runners and mounting brackets included? Suitable runners, brackets and fixings should be selected separately for the vehicle and required seating position.
• Can access behind the seat be retained? A compatible tilting mounting arrangement may be used where appropriate, subject to the vehicle and installation requirements.

Solitude Seat Frame and Foam Kit - 5 Point Seat Belt
Sold each

Fits

• Porsche 356 1950–55
• Porsche 356A 1955–59
• Porsche 356B 1959–63
• Porsche 356C 1963–65

The Solitude Seat Frame and Foam Kit provides an untrimmed foundation for creating a period-style fixed bucket seat for Porsche 356 models from 1950 to 1965. This version has provisions for a 5-point belt arrangement and comes with rosettes to finish the belt openings. 

What This Product Does

A seat frame kit contains the main structural and cushioning elements needed before the upholstery stage. Rather than supplying a completely trimmed seat, it allows a vehicle trimmer to finish the seat in leather, vinyl or fabric selected to complement the existing cabin. This approach is suitable for restoration projects and individually specified interiors where the covering, stitching and piping are chosen separately.

The Solitude design takes inspiration from sports seats associated with Porsche 356 Roadster, Speedster, GT and Outlaw-style builds. Its fixed bucket profile combines a tubular frame with flexible suspension belts and shaped padding. The defined sides help establish a supported seating position while retaining an appearance suited to a classic 356 interior.

Functions

• Provides the structural foundation for a complete upholstered seat
• Uses flexible suspension belts beneath the cushion area
• Supplies pre-shaped padding for the seat base, back and sides
• Allows the upholstery material and finishing details to be selected separately
• Provides openings for use with an appropriate 5-point belt arrangement
• Includes rosettes for a neat finish around the belt cut-outs

Technical Details

• Protected tubular-steel frame construction
• Fixed bucket-seat configuration without an integral recline mechanism
• Duralastic suspension system beneath the seating surface
• Kit contains the frame, suspension belts, shaped foam, cushion and headrest
• Fire-resistant foam construction
• Approximate untrimmed kit weight: 7.3 kg

Symptoms of Fault

• Original padding has collapsed, hardened or developed an uneven shape
• The existing cushion sags and no longer offers consistent support
• Corrosion, fatigue or previous repairs have affected the original frame
• Backrest or side support has deteriorated
• Damaged upholstery has revealed worn foam or suspension components
• A complete seat foundation is needed for an interior restoration

Why Replacement Matters

Renewing the frame, suspension and foam as a complete foundation helps the finished upholstery retain its intended shape. It also avoids installing new covers over deteriorated padding or weakened structural parts. As the seat itself is fixed, its final height and angle depend on the runners, brackets and mounting arrangement used in the vehicle. Seat mounting points, belt anchorages and harness routing are safety-critical; installation should therefore use suitable vehicle-specific hardware and be checked by an experienced specialist.

FAQs

• Does the kit include upholstery? No. It is supplied untrimmed so that a suitable trimmer can apply the required material and finish.
• What comes with the kit? The principal components comprise the tubular frame, flexible suspension belts, formed padding, seat cushion and headrest.
• Are the 5-point belt rosettes supplied? Yes. The surrounds used to finish the seat-belt cut-outs are included with this version.
• Is the backrest adjustable? No. The Solitude uses a fixed bucket structure. Installed tilt and seating height are determined by the chosen brackets and runners.
• Are vehicle mounting parts included? Suitable runners, brackets and fixings should be selected separately according to the vehicle and required seating position.

What This Product Does

A seat frame kit supplies the structural and supporting components required before upholstery is fitted. The steel tube frame establishes the shape of the seat, while Duralastic suspension belts create a flexible base beneath the cushion. Pre-shaped foam forms the seat base, backrest, headrest and side bolsters. A vehicle trimmer can then finish the assembly in a suitable leather, vinyl or fabric, allowing the colour, stitching and piping to be coordinated with the interior.

The Sebring has a high-backed profile influenced by rally and sports seats used in European competition cars during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Raised sides provide a defined seating position, while the belt openings allow installation with a suitable 5-point restraint arrangement. Supplied rosettes provide a finished surround for the seat-belt cut-outs.

Functions

• Provides the structural base for a fully upholstered classic sports seat
• Uses Duralastic belts to create a flexible supporting platform
• Includes shaped foam for the cushion, backrest, sides and headrest
• Allows upholstery materials and finishing details to be selected separately
• Creates a fixed, high-backed seating profile with pronounced side support
• Provides cut-outs and rosettes for a 5-point seat-belt arrangement

Technical Details

• Kit includes the seat frame, Duralastic belts, side and backrest foam, seat cushion and headrest
• Lightweight coated and protected steel tube construction
• Fire-retardant seat foam
• Fixed, non-adjustable seat structure
• Includes 5-point seat-belt cut-out rosettes
• Supplied untrimmed; upholstery, runners and vehicle-specific mounting brackets should be selected separately

Symptoms of Fault

• Original seat foam has compressed, cracked or become uneven
• The seat cushion sags or provides inconsistent support
• The existing frame is corroded, distorted or damaged
• Side-bolster or backrest support has deteriorated
• Worn upholstery has exposed damaged foam or suspension components
• A complete untrimmed seat foundation is required for a restoration or custom interior

Why Replacement Matters

Renewing the frame, suspension and shaped foam together provides a consistent foundation for the final upholstery. This avoids applying a new covering over collapsed padding or weakened supporting parts. The fixed structure also allows the final seating height and angle to be established through the selected runners and mounting brackets. Seat mounts, belt anchorages and harness geometry are safety-critical, so suitable vehicle-specific hardware should be installed and checked by an experienced specialist.

FAQs

• Is upholstery included? No. The kit is supplied untrimmed for completion by a suitable vehicle trimmer.
• What components are supplied? The kit contains the steel frame, Duralastic suspension belts, shaped side and back foam, seat cushion and headrest.
• Are the belt-opening rosettes included? Yes. Rosettes for the 5-point seat-belt cut-outs are supplied with this version.
• Can the seat recline? No. It has a fixed structure, with the installed height and tilt determined by the selected mounting arrangement.
• Are runners and mounting brackets included? The appropriate model-specific runners, brackets and fixings should be confirmed separately.

• Porsche 964 (911) C4 1989–1993
• Porsche 914 1970–1976

What This Product Does

A seat frame kit supplies the underlying components separately from the finished upholstery. The frame establishes the seat structure, Duralastic suspension belts form a flexible supporting platform, and pre-shaped foam defines the cushion, backrest and side bolsters. An automotive trimmer can then cover the prepared seat using suitable leather, vinyl or fabric, with the colour, stitching and piping selected to coordinate with the vehicle's interior.

The Sebring design reflects the high-backed rally and sports seats associated with European competition cars of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Its deep sides and raised back provide a defined, supportive seating profile while retaining an appearance suited to a classic Porsche cabin. The seat itself has a fixed structure, so its final height and angle are determined by the brackets and mounting arrangement used during installation.

Functions

• Provides the structural foundation for a fully trimmed classic sports seat
• Uses Duralastic suspension belts to support the cushion beneath the foam
• Includes shaped padding for the backrest, sides, cushion and headrest
• Allows the upholstery material and finishing details to be chosen separately
• Creates a high-backed profile with pronounced lateral support
• Accommodates the supplied standard 3-point seat-belt configuration

Technical Details

• Kit includes the seat frame, Duralastic belts, side and backrest foam, seat cushion and headrest
• Lightweight coated and protected steel tube frame
• Fire-retardant foam specification
• Fixed, non-adjustable seat structure
• Approximate seat weight: 9.8 kg
• Runners, mounting brackets and upholstery should be confirmed separately

Symptoms of Fault

• Original seat padding has compressed, cracked or become uneven
• The seat cushion sags or no longer supports the occupant consistently
• The existing seat frame is corroded, damaged or distorted
• Backrest or side-bolster support has deteriorated
• Worn trim has exposed damaged foam or suspension components
• A complete untrimmed foundation is required for an interior restoration

Why Replacement Matters

Renewing the frame, suspension and shaped foam together gives the trimmer a consistent base for the final covering. It avoids applying new upholstery over collapsed padding or weakened supporting components and permits the finished seat to be coordinated with a restored or individually specified cabin. Seat mounts, runners and belt anchorages are safety-critical, so the installation should use suitable vehicle-specific hardware and be checked by an experienced specialist.

FAQs

• Is the upholstery included? No. The components are supplied untrimmed so a chosen upholstery specialist can complete the seat.
• What does the kit contain? It includes the steel seat frame, suspension belts, shaped side and backrest foam, cushion and headrest.
• Can the seat recline? No. The seat has a fixed structure; its installed height and tilt depend on the selected mounting hardware.
• Is this suitable for a standard seat belt? Yes. This version is specified for use with a 3-point belt arrangement.
• Are runners and brackets included? The correct model-specific runners, brackets and fixings should be checked separately for the intended installation.

• Porsche 964 (911) C4 1989-93
• Porsche 914 (1970-1976)

What This Product Does

A seat shell kit supplies the supporting structure, flexible suspension and shaped padding rather than a completely upholstered seat. Combining these underlying parts creates a prepared foundation that can be finished in leather, vinyl, fabric or another suitable automotive upholstery material.

The RSR-inspired profile reflects the lightweight competition-style seating associated with Carrera RS and RSR applications. Shaped cushion, side and backrest foam define the seat form, while Duralastic suspension belts provide a flexible platform beneath the occupant. The shell incorporates openings for a 5-point belt arrangement, with rosettes included to finish the belt cut-outs neatly.

Functions

• Provides the structural base for a complete upholstered bucket seat
• Uses Duralastic belts to create flexible support beneath the cushion
• Includes shaped foam for the cushion, sides and backrest
• Allows upholstery colour, material, piping and stitching to be selected separately
• Provides openings for use with a suitable 5-point belt installation
• Creates a classic RSR-style seating profile for restoration or competition-inspired interiors

Technical Details

• Kit includes seat shell, Duralastic suspension belts, side and backrest foam, seat cushion and headrest
• Fibreglass shell construction
• Supplied untrimmed for professional upholstery
• Seat-belt cut-out rosettes included
• RSR-inspired design with up to 15 degrees of adjustment
• Mounting brackets, runners and installation hardware must be selected separately

Symptoms of Fault

• Original seat foam has sagged, split or lost its intended shape
• The cushion no longer supports the occupant evenly
• Side or backrest padding has deteriorated through age and repeated use
• The existing shell or supporting structure is cracked, distorted or corroded
• Worn upholstery has exposed damaged foam or suspension parts
• A complete foundation is required for a custom seat restoration

Why Replacement Matters

Replacing the shell, suspension belts and shaped foam together gives the trimmer a consistent foundation for the finished covering. This avoids applying new upholstery over collapsed padding or weakened supporting components. Seat runners, brackets, belt anchorages and related fixings are safety-critical; compatibility and installation should therefore be checked by an experienced specialist.

FAQs

• Is the upholstery included? No. The kit is supplied untrimmed so the material, colour, stitching and piping can be selected for the intended interior.
• What is included in the kit? It contains the shell, Duralastic suspension belts, shaped side and backrest foam, seat cushion and headrest.
• Is it prepared for 5-point belts? Yes. This version has the appropriate belt openings and is supplied with cut-out rosettes.
• Can it be matched to an existing cabin? A professional trimmer can select suitable materials and finishing details to coordinate with the existing interior.
• Are runners and mounting brackets supplied? Suitable vehicle-specific runners, brackets and fixing hardware must be confirmed separately.

• Porsche 914 (1970-1976)

What This Product Does

A seat shell kit separates the supporting structure, suspension and shaped foam from the finished upholstery. Supplying these underlying components together gives an automotive trimmer a prepared base on which to apply leather, vinyl, fabric or another suitable covering. The colour, stitching, piping and other details can therefore be selected to suit a restoration, restomod or existing cabin specification.

The RSR design takes inspiration from the lightweight seats associated with Carrera RS and RSR applications. Its shaped bucket profile provides defined support around the cushion, backrest and sides while retaining a classic competition-style appearance. Duralastic belts beneath the cushion create a flexible supporting platform instead of relying entirely on the foam.

Functions

• Provides the structural foundation for a complete upholstered seat
• Uses shaped foam to form the cushion, sides and backrest
• Supports the cushion through flexible Duralastic suspension belts
• Allows upholstery material, colour and stitching to be selected separately
• Provides a period-style bucket-seat profile for classic Porsche interiors
• Accommodates a standard 3-point seat-belt arrangement

Technical Details

• Kit includes the seat shell, Duralastic belts, side and backrest foam, cushion and headrest
• Fibreglass shell construction
• Untrimmed and ready for professional upholstery
• RSR-inspired bucket-seat design with up to 15 degrees of adjustment
• Specified for use with 3-point seat belts
• Mounting brackets, runners and upholstery must be confirmed separately

Symptoms of Fault

• Original seat foam has collapsed, cracked or lost its shape
• The cushion sags or no longer supports the occupant evenly
• The existing seat shell or frame is damaged, distorted or corroded
• Side and backrest support have deteriorated through age and use
• Worn upholstery exposes degraded foam or suspension components
• A complete supporting base is needed for a seat restoration

Why Replacement Matters

Renewing the shell, suspension and shaped foam together provides a consistent base for the finished upholstery. This avoids installing new coverings over weakened padding or tired supporting parts and gives the trimmer control over the final materials and detailing. Seat runners, brackets and belt anchorages are safety-critical, so suitable installation hardware should be selected and fitted by an experienced specialist.

FAQs

• Is upholstery supplied? No. The kit is untrimmed, allowing the covering material and finishing details to be chosen separately.
• What components are included? The kit contains the seat shell, Duralastic suspension belts, shaped foam sections, cushion and headrest.
• Is this suitable for standard seat belts? Yes. This version is configured for a 3-point seat-belt arrangement.
• Can the upholstery match an existing interior? A professional trimmer can select suitable materials, colours, stitching and piping to coordinate with the cabin.
• Are mounting parts included? Suitable model-specific brackets, runners and installation hardware should be confirmed separately.

• Porsche 914 (1970-1976)

What This Product Does

The seat shell kit concept separates the seat’s supporting structure, suspension and shaped padding from its final upholstery. The essential underlying components are supplied as a kit, allowing a professional automotive trimmer to finish the seat in leather, vinyl, fabric or another suitable material. Colour, stitching, piping and other upholstery details can therefore be selected to complement the vehicle’s existing cabin or restoration specification.

The R Seat design is based on the supportive driver and co-driver seats associated with early rally and competition cars. Its shaped, fixed-back form provides defined support around the backrest, sides and cushion while retaining a period-style appearance appropriate for a classic Porsche interior. Duralastic suspension belts sit beneath the cushion to provide flexible support rather than relying on the foam alone.

Functions

• Provides the structural shell for a complete upholstered R Seat
• Uses shaped foam sections to establish the seat profile
• Supports the cushion with flexible Duralastic suspension belts
• Allows upholstery materials, colours and stitching to be specified separately
• Creates a fixed seating position determined by the chosen mounting installation
• Provides a period-style seat form for classic Porsche interior restoration

Technical Details

• Kit includes the seat shell, Duralastic suspension belts, side and backrest foam, seat cushion and headrest
• Fibreglass seat shell construction
• Fixed-back bucket-seat design
• Untrimmed components ready for professional upholstery
• Version specified for use with 3-point seat belts
• Mounting brackets, runners and upholstery should be confirmed separately for the installation

Symptoms of Fault

• Original seat foam has collapsed, split or lost its shape
• The seat cushion sags or provides uneven support
• The existing frame or shell is corroded, distorted or damaged
• Backrest and side support have deteriorated through age and use
• Worn upholstery reveals degraded foam or supporting components
• A complete foundation is required for a seat restoration project

Why Replacement Matters

Replacing the supporting shell, suspension and foam together gives the upholsterer a consistent foundation for the finished seat. This avoids fitting new trim over deteriorated padding or tired suspension parts and allows the upholstery specification to be coordinated with the rest of the interior. Seat brackets, runners and belt anchorages are safety-critical; installation should use appropriate hardware and be checked by a suitably experienced specialist.

FAQs

• Is the upholstery included? No. The kit is supplied untrimmed so the covering material and finishing details can be selected separately.
• What is included in the shell kit? It includes the seat shell, Duralastic suspension belts, shaped side and backrest foam, seat cushion and headrest.
• Can the backrest angle be adjusted? No. This is a fixed-back seat, so the installed height and angle are established by the selected brackets and mounting arrangement.
• Is this the 3-point seat-belt version? Yes. This kit is specified for a 3-point belt arrangement rather than a multi-point harness configuration.
• Does it fit a Porsche 914? The supplied application includes the Porsche 914, subject to the use of suitable model-specific runners or mounting brackets.

• Porsche 914 (1970-1976)

What This Product Does

The seat-shell concept separates the supporting structure and shaped padding from the final upholstery. The kit supplies the principal components needed to establish the seat profile, while the covering material, colour, stitching and finishing work can be completed locally. This approach makes it possible to coordinate the finished seat with a restored, period-style or individually specified interior.

The R Seat shape is based on the supportive seats associated with early rally and racing cars. Its fixed bucket form creates defined back, side and cushion support while retaining an appearance appropriate for a classic Porsche cabin. Duralastic suspension belts provide a flexible base beneath the cushion rather than relying on foam alone.

Functions

• Forms the structural foundation for a fully upholstered R Seat
• Uses shaped foam to establish the backrest, side and cushion profile
• Supports the seat cushion through flexible Duralastic suspension belts
• Provides dedicated openings for a 5-point belt arrangement
• Allows the final upholstery specification to be selected separately
• Creates a fixed seating position determined by the mounting installation

Technical Details

• Kit includes the seat frame, Duralastic belt set, side and backrest foams, cushion foam and 5-point belt rosette set
• Coated steel tube frame construction
• Fire-resistant foam padding
• Approximately 385 mm side-to-side mounting distance
• Fixed, non-adjustable seat structure
• Final seat height and backrest angle are established through the mounting arrangement

Symptoms of Fault

• Seat foam has collapsed, split or become uneven
• The existing seat no longer provides consistent back or side support
• Suspension components have stretched and allow the cushion to sag
• The frame has corrosion, distortion or unwanted movement
• Damaged upholstery and padding require a complete seat rebuild
• The current seat is unsuitable for the planned 5-point belt layout

Why Replacement Matters

Renewing the frame, suspension and padding together gives the upholsterer a sound foundation for the finished seat. It avoids placing new trim over deteriorated foam or tired supporting components and enables the seat position to be set for the vehicle and driver during installation. All belt anchorages and seat mountings should be installed using suitable hardware and checked by a competent specialist.

FAQs

• Is upholstery supplied? No. The frame, suspension and foam components are provided for finishing by an upholstery specialist.
• Can the backrest be adjusted? No. This is a fixed seat structure, so its installed height and angle depend on the selected mounting arrangement.
• Is this version prepared for 5-point belts? Yes. It has the relevant belt openings and includes the corresponding rosette set.
• Can it be fitted to a Porsche 914? The supplied application includes the Porsche 914 when used with an appropriate slider or tilting bracket.

• Porsche 914 (1970-1976)

What This Product Does

This kit provides the untrimmed structure, flexible suspension and shaped padding needed to create a complete fixed-back Rallye seat. Its tall backrest and raised side bolsters reflect the form of competition-influenced sports seats used in European cars during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The seat can be finished by a local automotive trimmer, allowing the upholstery, stitching and detailing to be coordinated with the vehicle’s interior.

Functions

• Provides the structural foundation for an upholstered Rallye seat
• Uses flexible Duralastic supports beneath the occupant
• Forms the seat base, backrest and side-bolster profile
• Supports a low seating arrangement when installed appropriately
• Allows upholstery materials and finishing details to be selected separately
• Accommodates the vehicle’s standard 3-point belt arrangement

Technical Details

• Tubular steel frame with a protective coating
• Duralastic suspension system
• Shaped base, backrest and bolster foam components
• Fire-retardant padding specification
• Approximately 385 mm mounting distance from side to side
• Fixed backrest; final seat height and rake are determined by the installation

Frame Kit Concept

Supplying the seat in component form enables the trimming work to be carried out by a chosen upholstery specialist. The prepared frame, suspension and foam establish the required seat shape before the covering is fitted. This approach makes it possible to select leather, vinyl or fabric that suits the existing cabin while avoiding the need to transport a finished seat for retrimming. Mounting hardware, sliders or tilting arrangements should be selected to suit the individual vehicle and desired seating position.

Symptoms of Fault

• Original seat foam has sagged, split or lost its shape
• The existing seat no longer provides even back or side support
• Internal suspension elements have stretched or detached
• Corrosion, cracking or movement is present in the old frame
• Worn covers and padding require a complete seat rebuild
• The current seating height or profile is unsuitable for the restoration

Why Replacement Matters

Renewing the frame, suspension and foam together gives an upholsterer a consistent base on which to build the finished seat. It avoids applying new coverings over collapsed padding or a damaged structure and allows the mounting position to be established for the vehicle and driver. As the backrest is not adjustable, installation should account for the required height, rake and access before the upholstery work is completed.

FAQs

• Is upholstery included? No. The kit is designed to be covered and finished by an automotive upholstery specialist.
• Does this version have harness openings? No. It is the 3-point belt version and does not include a seat-belt cut-out rosette set.
• Can the backrest angle be adjusted? The seat itself is fixed. Height and rake are set through the chosen mounting arrangement.
• Can it be fitted to a Porsche 914? The frame is suitable for the listed 914 application when used with an appropriate mounting or tilt-and-slider arrangement.

What This Product Does

The kit combines a coated steel tube frame with Duralastic suspension belts and shaped foam components. Its fixed bucket-seat profile is based on the rally and sports seats fitted to European performance cars during the late 1960s and early 1970s. A taller back and raised side supports help establish a supportive seating shape while retaining an appropriate appearance for a classic interior.

Functions

• Forms the structural basis of a complete upholstered Rallye seat
• Provides shaped side, backrest and cushion padding
• Supports the occupant through a flexible Duralastic belt system
• Accommodates a 5-point belt installation through dedicated openings
• Allows the upholstery material and finish to be selected locally
• Creates a relatively low seating position when correctly installed

Technical Details

• Kit includes seat frame, Duralastic belt set, side and backrest foams, seat cushion foam and 5-point seat belt rosette set
• Coated steel tube frame construction
• Fire-retardant padding specification
• Approximately 385 mm side-to-side mounting distance
• Fixed, non-adjustable seat structure; installation determines the final height and tilt
• Wide, tall seat profile intended to accommodate a broad range of drivers

Frame Kit Concept

Supplying the seat as a frame and foam kit enables the trimming work to be completed by a chosen upholstery specialist. This allows the covering material, colour, stitching and finishing details to be coordinated with the rest of the interior without transporting a fully trimmed seat. The pre-shaped foam and suspension components provide the starting profile required by the trimmer.

Symptoms of Fault

• Collapsed, uneven or deteriorated seat foam
• Insufficient support from worn original seat padding
• Movement, corrosion or damage within an existing seat frame
• Torn upholstery or separated seams requiring a complete rebuild
• Loose suspension components causing sagging or unwanted movement
• A seating position unsuitable for a planned 5-point belt installation

Why Replacement Matters

Worn frames, suspension belts and foam can affect seating position, comfort and support. Rebuilding the seat from a prepared frame kit provides an opportunity to renew the structural and padded elements together, rather than fitting new upholstery over tired components. The fixed frame must be mounted at a suitable height and angle for the individual vehicle and driver.

FAQs

• Does the kit include upholstery?
  No. It supplies the frame, suspension components and foam required for finishing by an upholstery specialist.
• Can the backrest angle be adjusted?
  The seat structure is fixed. The preferred seating height and angle must be established through the mounting arrangement.
• Is it prepared for 5-point belts?
  Yes. This version includes the relevant belt openings and a 5-point rosette set. Use appropriate mounting points and follow the belt supplier's installation instructions.
• Can it be installed in a Porsche 914?
  The Rallye frame design uses a mounting layout intended to support installation in the 914 with the appropriate tilt or slider bracket.
