Opinions count but not as much as details. I’d like to know more to be sure. 68 on sport seats doesn’t make sense, 68 is a one year only version.

As you wrote to buy a cheaper 68 version to convert to 66/67 i assume you mean the later versionQuote:

The 66/67 were build much thinner from the metal construction, other foam shape and especially on the top of the back
a much thinner shape. From a 68- version it‘s not possible to convert to a 66/67 version, the 66/67 are a kind of its own.
Here is a 66/67 original survivor:

Not according to Tony
Long time ago SWBSam posted pictures of the frames (stripped from their foam) of both seats on Pelican.Quote:

Thanks for the photos. Looks like the lower frame is also different. I’m a little concerned about the tip brackets on the lwb lower frame, 68 uses tip brackets on the lower sliders. So are 68 frames the same as 69-72? My 68 seats say the same as 69. Considering their rarity and cost, an accurate 67S repro might be a worthwhile project.

Sold new in Sweden in 1966, the 911 67S was off the road from 1973 before it was restored, seats remained the original just an excellent clean up! and in Europe, you could order a headrest; it was just on the driver's side.
67S has a very special carpet when it comes to the rubber part, just one year on 67S. http://www.skaraborgsflyg.com/dekal/Rubbermats.pdf
FYI.

I think the author is looking for an original 67 seat. The attached picture shows a 67 in comparison to a 68 seat. I think it is nearly impossible to pimp a 68 seat to a 67.
