Thread: Seat rail supports for tombstones in longhood

    Seat rail supports for tombstones in longhood

    I'm searching for impact bumper seat rail supports (1st series) but I'm having trouble looking for part numbers as the ones listed in PET catalogue are 2nd series unfortunately.

    Here is a pic (No affiliation). These are the type of supports I want. Any ideas where I could get them?

    Thanks for the drawing. Much appreciated.

    Not sure if I understand fully but are the inners (tunnel) the same as the outers? (mirrored image)

    In the photo above, the factory seat rail supports seem to be tilted back at a slight angle. Are yours flat?

    Do you have a photo of your supports in a car if you don't mind me asking?

    The plates are mirrored flat steel. I bolted mine on top of the existing rails for the original seats.

    Hi I took these off my 1971 911. They were adaptors for tombstone seats.They were attached to the seat rails from what I remember. Returned car to stock seats.
    $20.00 plus shipping if you would like them.

    It seems to me that your drawings are for outers only, as the inners have different bolt locations. Here is a photo:

    There is a factory piece that bolts to those locations and then the adapter plates bolt to those.

    OK I think I get the picture now. Thanks.

    However, the factory version ('74 -) brackets are tilted back a bit. Do you find your seating position on flat plates comfortable?

    I have not noticed as issue.

    You will notice that in my third picture, I had some "ears" welded onto the plates with a 7/16-20 nut to give me a seat belt attachment point. These are on both sides of the seat.
