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.
