Includes
- 1 x Seat frame
- 1 x Duralastic belt set
- 1 x Foam set
- 1 x Headrest – Standard Oval with piping type
- 1 x 5-Point seat belt rosette set

Classic Styling with Improved Support
The Le Mans combines the simple appearance of a classic sports seat with increased support compared with a conventional OEM seat.
Its shape helps hold the driver more securely during cornering, making it particularly suitable for spirited road driving, historic motorsport-inspired builds and vintage race applications.
The seat has been designed to retain a period-correct character rather than introducing the appearance of a modern racing bucket seat into a classic interior.
Designed for 5-Point Harnesses
The Le Mans frame incorporates dedicated waist belt openings and is supplied with rosettes for a 5-point harness arrangement.
This provides a cleaner, purpose-designed solution for classic cars being built with motorsport-style restraint systems.
Correct harness installation is essential. Harnesses must be installed using appropriate mounting points and in accordance with the requirements of the harness manufacturer and intended vehicle use.
Improved Porsche 914 Seating Position
The Le Mans has been redesigned to provide a lower and less forward seating position.
This is particularly beneficial in the Porsche 914, where seating position and available cabin space can have a significant effect on driver comfort.
The revised design can provide:
- Lower seating position
- Less forward seating position
- Improved driving position
- Better support than the original seat
- Easier integration with the Porsche 914 interior
- Improved installation with the OEM 914 slider bracket
Porsche 914 Bolt-In Upgrade
The Le Mans is particularly popular as a replacement and upgrade for the Porsche 914.
Its latest design has been developed to make installation onto the original 914 slider bracket considerably easier, allowing owners to retain the factory-style seat adjustment arrangement while upgrading the seat itself.
This makes it an attractive choice for Porsche 914 restorations, restomods and vintage race-inspired builds.
Lightweight Handmade Construction
Each Retro Trim LeMans seat is handmade around a lightweight frame.
Fire-resistant foam is combined with Duralastic belts within the seat structure, providing a supportive foundation while maintaining the comfort required for road use and longer journeys.
The Duralastic system helps create a seat that feels firm and supportive without relying on excessive amounts of heavy foam.
Key construction features include:
- Lightweight seat frame
- Handmade construction
- Fire-resistant foam
- Duralastic support belts
- Improved lateral support
- 5-point harness openings
- Harness rosettes included
- Revised seating position
- Period-inspired design
Have Your Seats Upholstered Locally
Purchasing the Le Mans as a seat frame kit allows you to choose exactly how the finished seats will look.
Rather than purchasing a fully trimmed seat, the frame kit can be supplied to your preferred local upholstery or interior restoration specialist.
Having the seats upholstered locally also makes it easier to coordinate the seats with door cards, carpets and other interior trim as part of a complete restoration.
Ideal for Classic & Vintage Race Cars
Although particularly well suited to the Porsche 914, the compact and lightweight Le Mans design has also been successfully installed in other classic vehicles.
Installation requirements will vary between vehicles, and custom mounting solutions may be necessary outside the Porsche 914 application.
Why Choose the Retro Trim LeMans?
The Le Mans is designed for owners who want a lightweight classic sports seat without losing the period character of their vehicle.
Compared with a standard factory seat, its more supportive profile can help hold the driver securely during enthusiastic driving, while the lower revised seating position is particularly beneficial in the Porsche 914.
The integrated 5-point harness provision also makes it well suited to vintage race and motorsport-inspired builds.
Le Mans Porsche 914 & Classic Racing Seat Frame Kits
The Retro Trim Le Mans Seat Frame Kit provides a lightweight, period-inspired seating solution for Porsche 914 owners looking for increased support, a lower driving position and provision for a 5-point harness.
Its redesigned frame makes installation with the original Porsche 914 slider bracket easier while positioning the driver lower and less forward than previous versions.
For Porsche 914 restorations, restomods and vintage race builds, the LeMans combines classic styling with practical improvements to driver positioning and support without introducing the appearance of a modern competition seat.
Supplying the LeMans as a frame kit also allows the upholstery to be tailored specifically to the vehicle, making it suitable for everything from period-style Porsche interiors to individual restomod specifications.
