I currently have the regular not the lightweight slider mounted to the seat...
But I can put it on the scales the next time I'll unmount it from the pedestal but it's really soft and flimsy compared to recaros. I guess the passenger has itself already 15kg it's a massive thing- really heavy

[recarno]

I weighed: 911R scheel bucket with rivets - without rails = 7,600 grams. however, since i've had a few of these seats scheel 300 over the last 20 years, i can say that the weights differed. the lightest I had was 6400 grams - the heaviest at 8300 grams. all without rails and brackets and all with the original letherette/cord. Hope I could help a bit.

Hello, pictures confirm Scheel racing buckets were fitted in T/R Group 3. In the Sport Purpose 68, there is no reference to Scheel, only Recaro bucket seat with kit 9553 and as an option a Recaro competition seat.

If Recaro bucket seat with kit 9553 is Recaro 4 legs shown by Claudius, I have never seen a Recaro competition seat. It may be a mistake and it is in fact a Scheel racing bucket wich should have been noted.

there was no way around the scheel 300 (regardless of whether corduroy was decorated with rivets or without rivets). those who were serious about racing actually had to grab this seat (if they could fit into the seat). recaro had nothing comparable to offer. the 4-leg was the only thing they produced on the bucket, and it just had significantly less lateral support. so scheel was THE supplier in the years 67 - 69. only then did recaro come with its racing version of the rally 1 - basically the idea of ​​the scheel 300 was copied. but later they also did it with the scheel 400 (ideal S). in this respect, scheel was the most innovative of the two companies.

I found in my archive another picture of a T/R with the combination 911R bucket with rivets / 4-leg and am attaching it below. is certainly also a photo from modern times.

@uai, great informations, thanks..

Parts normally deleted in a T/R are in place : cigaret lighter and ashtray.

Butler flexilight is positioned in the center, usually on the right side.

An additional horn button for the passenger. It looks like a 906 / 911R horn button

I looked and looked for that horn button for me 911R and kept finding really expensive options on eBay, etc... Eventually, I found there is a modern replacement that is incredibly close. If you are looking for one, search out a Hella button with this part number:

Post #133 @ HughH, picture Hamilton T/R dasboard carpet

The dash carpet seems different from the lightened felt



Here, a picture of the lightened felt (thickness 2,2mm) and a thin black carpet (5mm)

@Atomic, I was lucky to find this horn button in pictures above.

This one looks the same except it is in plastic : https://www.trodo.fr/interrupteur-d-...jf-001-571-101
