Scheel Seat Question

[Mr9146]

I have a new pet project and I'm in the fact-finding stage.

Does anyone have photographs of or information on the tracks/sliders used on early Scheel seats?

In particular I'm looking for 911R mounting solutions be it fixed or adjustable.

I am not interested in aftermarket sliders or mounts, however ... just the real-deal factory stuff.

Thanks for any help offered.

Marco, check with Armando... pretty sure he has examples and photos.

Marco - I've seen different versions of sliders used on early Scheel seats but this style was used on the 914/6 GT &, I think, 911R too (also found on NSU 1000 TTS :







I'm sure Raj will be along soon with pictures of the slider arrangement on his R.

Hi Marco,
Geritt (MNL) makes the GT ones...

Mr. 9146

Armando currently has a set of sliders on EBay that covers a wide range of Porsches including the 911R, price is $2500.00. The item number on EBay is 150666619404. I , just yesterday, got a set of Scheel seats, not racing buckets, but they do have a base and sliders. It has a single locker so that may mean its at least middle 1970's? If anyone recognizes the seats please speak up. I will take pictures and send them later in the day.

I must be missing something on the $2500 Scheel sliders. Looks like a adjustable height single locker Scheel slider. Took me almost a year to sell one for $50.00.

Thanks for the replies, guys. Andy, great photos ... I remember a discussion thread on the board about those crossbar mounts.

I wonder, is there a tilting Scheel base frame similar to the early pre-double locker Recaro? Or, better yet, will the Scheel bolt to the tilting Recaro base?

Pardon my ignorance, but who is Gerrit (MNL)?

My Scheels fits perfectly on recaro (SWB) tilting bases
Gerrit is a guy from Germany known for restoring / selling Scheel (parts). NML depot

I don't know how early that means. But I saw something about this on a discussion here somewhere , it seemed like it was said there was both a Scheel tilt base & recaro version. So I saved copies of the photos as there was some construction differances shown ...here they are. Someone else can probably chime in and verify if these are indeed as I have them marked and also if both are porsche application (if there is any differance in these between car types) .

First two photos Scheel , second two Recaro :

+1
250$ for the sliders for one seat would be a good price for both seller and buyer. I think it might be a typo.
I know two Seats including these sliders which you could get for 500 Euros.
