seat rail help needed for 73 911

[71 sixer]

Was hoping I could get some help from the seat gurus.

I recently sent my 1973 stock/original seat bottoms to a very well known Porsche upholstery shop. He restored the seat bottom springs so the seats would be much firmer. He did a fantastic job!

Here's is my issue. When I mailed the seat bottoms to him I left ALL the hardware on the seat bottoms on.... i.e. seat rails, set belt receptacle, rubber support etc. My thought was rather than fool with taking all these parts off the bottom of the seat frame, let him take them off & reinstall.

Unfortunately when he mailed my seats back to me he forgot to reinstall all the parts on the bottom of the seat. I called him and he found the parts and apologized; he offered to install all the hardware if I sent the seats back. Rather than going to the shipping expense, I thought I would try. I should have the seat rails & other misc parts back in a few days. As you might imagine, I didn't study how the seat rails were attached, or any of the other parts on the seat bottom frame thinking the upholstery shop would do all that.

So here is my request. Would someone be willing to remove their seat and take a few up close pictures of the seat bottom that would help my understand how the seat rails are attached to the seat frame. Would also need a few pictures of the back of the seat to see how the rubber stop is installed, as well as the seat belt receptacle.

Any help with pictures and advice is GREATLY appreciated. If it is easier for you as you send pictures, feel free to e-mail to me tim.huestis@pnfp.com.

Thanks guys!

I have a couple of seats on the shelf in the garage, mostly in pieces.
I think one of them still has the rails on it, I'll take a look later today and post puctures.

Here are a couple of pictures, if you need any more specific ones let me know. These are from the left side of a drivers seat bottom.

There are 7 bolts on each rail to the seat: 4 at the rear, 1 in the middle and 2 at the front in addition to another bolt with large washer on the rubber stop.







And some pictures of the right side of the drivers seat for the seat belt buckle

Should have the seat parts later this week and will give it a go.

I really appreciate the help with the pictures!
