    On the second line the first bit is not a number but letters: 'St.' Stands for 'Stück' = 'Piece/Article/Unit' or 'Standard'

    Therefore: '1 Piece Lightweight S' or '1 Standard Lightweight S'

    Number in the third line is either a '9' or, less probable but possible: '8'

    Marcus,

    Thanks a bunch! You're right about the digit as a '9'. It matches the first 9 in the part no. sequence. So:

    I can't say that my high school german made me an expert, but Photoshop yields this:

    My best guess at the bottom line is 911.521.904.01. It just so happens that 911.521.903.01 is a "BUCKET SEAT" for a Carrera 2.7. Lots of seats have part numbers starting 911.521.

    Minor tweak: the 'b' for 'bau' at the end of 'Leicht'. And 'S.' probably stands for 'Sitz' = seat.

    So:

    Porsche Weissach
    1 St. Leichtb. S. [1 standard lightweight seat]
    911.521.904.01

    Exactly what Sun 888 said "1 Stück Leichtbausitz" the race department in Weissach made the seat even lighter saving few letters on tag! ;-)

    In Porsche parts, St. usually meant each...not standard.

    Harvey is right:

    1 St. > 1 Stück > each/one piece/one part etc.

    1 St. Leichtb. S. > 1 Stück Leichtbau Sitz

    Hi Carl,

    I would say 911.521.804.01 as part number. Otherwise a very weird way to write a 9, even for Germans! This must be the most light leichtbau seat that was available for the RS or RSR, may be a seat for a homologation RS? Could you weigh it for reference and I can co pare with the same seat but with knurled knobs for adjusting the back side.

    Kind regards,

    Cees
