The seat base of your Porsche 911 '66-'73 is of the spingbox type. Extensive use and age will cause the coils to loose resistance and break. This reduces the support of the seat and will overstretch your seat covers causing them to tear and crack.
When replacing your front seat covers it is recommended to install our front seat reinforcement kit. It will provide you better ride comfort and increase the life of you new seat covers.

What This Product Does
The seat-shell concept separates the supporting structure and shaped padding from the final upholstery. The kit supplies the principal components needed to establish the seat profile, while the covering material, colour, stitching and finishing work can be completed locally. This approach makes it possible to coordinate the finished seat with a restored, period-style or individually specified interior.
The R Seat shape is based on the supportive seats associated with early rally and racing cars. Its fixed bucket form creates defined back, side and cushion support while retaining an appearance appropriate for a classic Porsche cabin. Duralastic suspension belts provide a flexible base beneath the cushion rather than relying on foam alone.
Functions
- Forms the structural foundation for a fully upholstered R Seat
- Uses shaped foam to establish the backrest, side and cushion profile
- Supports the seat cushion through flexible Duralastic suspension belts
- Provides dedicated openings for a 5-point belt arrangement
- Allows the final upholstery specification to be selected separately
- Creates a fixed seating position determined by the mounting installation
Technical Details
- Kit includes the seat frame, Duralastic belt set, side and backrest foams, cushion foam and 5-point belt rosette set
- Coated steel tube frame construction
- Fire-resistant foam padding
- Approximately 385 mm side-to-side mounting distance
- Fixed, non-adjustable seat structure
- Final seat height and backrest angle are established through the mounting arrangement
Symptoms of Fault
- Seat foam has collapsed, split or become uneven
- The existing seat no longer provides consistent back or side support
- Suspension components have stretched and allow the cushion to sag
- The frame has corrosion, distortion or unwanted movement
- Damaged upholstery and padding require a complete seat rebuild
- The current seat is unsuitable for the planned 5-point belt layout
Why Replacement Matters
Renewing the frame, suspension and padding together gives the upholsterer a sound foundation for the finished seat. It avoids placing new trim over deteriorated foam or tired supporting components and enables the seat position to be set for the vehicle and driver during installation. All belt anchorages and seat mountings should be installed using suitable hardware and checked by a competent specialist.
FAQs
- Is upholstery supplied? No. The frame, suspension and foam components are provided for finishing by an upholstery specialist.
- Can the backrest be adjusted? No. This is a fixed seat structure, so its installed height and angle depend on the selected mounting arrangement.
- Is this version prepared for 5-point belts? Yes. It has the relevant belt openings and includes the corresponding rosette set.
- Can it be fitted to a Porsche 914? The supplied application includes the Porsche 914 when used with an appropriate slider or tilting bracket.

What This Product Does
The seat shell kit concept separates the seat’s supporting structure, suspension and shaped padding from its final upholstery. The essential underlying components are supplied as a kit, allowing a professional automotive trimmer to finish the seat in leather, vinyl, fabric or another suitable material. Colour, stitching, piping and other upholstery details can therefore be selected to complement the vehicle’s existing cabin or restoration specification.
The R Seat design is based on the supportive driver and co-driver seats associated with early rally and competition cars. Its shaped, fixed-back form provides defined support around the backrest, sides and cushion while retaining a period-style appearance appropriate for a classic Porsche interior. Duralastic suspension belts sit beneath the cushion to provide flexible support rather than relying on the foam alone.
Functions
- Provides the structural shell for a complete upholstered R Seat
- Uses shaped foam sections to establish the seat profile
- Supports the cushion with flexible Duralastic suspension belts
- Allows upholstery materials, colours and stitching to be specified separately
- Creates a fixed seating position determined by the chosen mounting installation
- Provides a period-style seat form for classic Porsche interior restoration
Technical Details
- Kit includes the seat shell, Duralastic suspension belts, side and backrest foam, seat cushion and headrest
- Fibreglass seat shell construction
- Fixed-back bucket-seat design
- Untrimmed components ready for professional upholstery
- Version specified for use with 3-point seat belts
- Mounting brackets, runners and upholstery should be confirmed separately for the installation
Symptoms of Fault
- Original seat foam has collapsed, split or lost its shape
- The seat cushion sags or provides uneven support
- The existing frame or shell is corroded, distorted or damaged
- Backrest and side support have deteriorated through age and use
- Worn upholstery reveals degraded foam or supporting components
- A complete foundation is required for a seat restoration project
Why Replacement Matters
Replacing the supporting shell, suspension and foam together gives the upholsterer a consistent foundation for the finished seat. This avoids fitting new trim over deteriorated padding or tired suspension parts and allows the upholstery specification to be coordinated with the rest of the interior. Seat brackets, runners and belt anchorages are safety-critical; installation should use appropriate hardware and be checked by a suitably experienced specialist.
FAQs
- Is the upholstery included? No. The kit is supplied untrimmed so the covering material and finishing details can be selected separately.
- What is included in the shell kit? It includes the seat shell, Duralastic suspension belts, shaped side and backrest foam, seat cushion and headrest.
- Can the backrest angle be adjusted? No. This is a fixed-back seat, so the installed height and angle are established by the selected brackets and mounting arrangement.
- Is this the 3-point seat-belt version? Yes. This kit is specified for a 3-point belt arrangement rather than a multi-point harness configuration.
- Does it fit a Porsche 914? The supplied application includes the Porsche 914, subject to the use of suitable model-specific runners or mounting brackets.

What This Product Does
This kit provides the untrimmed structure, flexible suspension and shaped padding needed to create a complete fixed-back Rallye seat. Its tall backrest and raised side bolsters reflect the form of competition-influenced sports seats used in European cars during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The seat can be finished by a local automotive trimmer, allowing the upholstery, stitching and detailing to be coordinated with the vehicle’s interior.
Functions
- Provides the structural foundation for an upholstered Rallye seat
- Uses flexible Duralastic supports beneath the occupant
- Forms the seat base, backrest and side-bolster profile
- Supports a low seating arrangement when installed appropriately
- Allows upholstery materials and finishing details to be selected separately
- Accommodates the vehicle’s standard 3-point belt arrangement
Technical Details
- Tubular steel frame with a protective coating
- Duralastic suspension system
- Shaped base, backrest and bolster foam components
- Fire-retardant padding specification
- Approximately 385 mm mounting distance from side to side
- Fixed backrest; final seat height and rake are determined by the installation
Frame Kit Concept
Supplying the seat in component form enables the trimming work to be carried out by a chosen upholstery specialist. The prepared frame, suspension and foam establish the required seat shape before the covering is fitted. This approach makes it possible to select leather, vinyl or fabric that suits the existing cabin while avoiding the need to transport a finished seat for retrimming. Mounting hardware, sliders or tilting arrangements should be selected to suit the individual vehicle and desired seating position.
Symptoms of Fault
- Original seat foam has sagged, split or lost its shape
- The existing seat no longer provides even back or side support
- Internal suspension elements have stretched or detached
- Corrosion, cracking or movement is present in the old frame
- Worn covers and padding require a complete seat rebuild
- The current seating height or profile is unsuitable for the restoration
Why Replacement Matters
Renewing the frame, suspension and foam together gives an upholsterer a consistent base on which to build the finished seat. It avoids applying new coverings over collapsed padding or a damaged structure and allows the mounting position to be established for the vehicle and driver. As the backrest is not adjustable, installation should account for the required height, rake and access before the upholstery work is completed.
FAQs
- Is upholstery included? No. The kit is designed to be covered and finished by an automotive upholstery specialist.
- Does this version have harness openings? No. It is the 3-point belt version and does not include a seat-belt cut-out rosette set.
- Can the backrest angle be adjusted? The seat itself is fixed. Height and rake are set through the chosen mounting arrangement.
- Can it be fitted to a Porsche 914? The frame is suitable for the listed 914 application when used with an appropriate mounting or tilt-and-slider arrangement.

What This Product Does
The kit combines a coated steel tube frame with Duralastic suspension belts and shaped foam components. Its fixed bucket-seat profile is based on the rally and sports seats fitted to European performance cars during the late 1960s and early 1970s. A taller back and raised side supports help establish a supportive seating shape while retaining an appropriate appearance for a classic interior.
Functions
- Forms the structural basis of a complete upholstered Rallye seat
- Provides shaped side, backrest and cushion padding
- Supports the occupant through a flexible Duralastic belt system
- Accommodates a 5-point belt installation through dedicated openings
- Allows the upholstery material and finish to be selected locally
- Creates a relatively low seating position when correctly installed
Technical Details
- Kit includes seat frame, Duralastic belt set, side and backrest foams, seat cushion foam and 5-point seat belt rosette set
- Coated steel tube frame construction
- Fire-retardant padding specification
- Approximately 385 mm side-to-side mounting distance
- Fixed, non-adjustable seat structure; installation determines the final height and tilt
- Wide, tall seat profile intended to accommodate a broad range of drivers
Frame Kit Concept
Supplying the seat as a frame and foam kit enables the trimming work to be completed by a chosen upholstery specialist. This allows the covering material, colour, stitching and finishing details to be coordinated with the rest of the interior without transporting a fully trimmed seat. The pre-shaped foam and suspension components provide the starting profile required by the trimmer.
Symptoms of Fault
- Collapsed, uneven or deteriorated seat foam
- Insufficient support from worn original seat padding
- Movement, corrosion or damage within an existing seat frame
- Torn upholstery or separated seams requiring a complete rebuild
- Loose suspension components causing sagging or unwanted movement
- A seating position unsuitable for a planned 5-point belt installation
Why Replacement Matters
Worn frames, suspension belts and foam can affect seating position, comfort and support. Rebuilding the seat from a prepared frame kit provides an opportunity to renew the structural and padded elements together, rather than fitting new upholstery over tired components. The fixed frame must be mounted at a suitable height and angle for the individual vehicle and driver.
FAQs
- Does the kit include upholstery?
No. It supplies the frame, suspension components and foam required for finishing by an upholstery specialist. - Can the backrest angle be adjusted?
The seat structure is fixed. The preferred seating height and angle must be established through the mounting arrangement. - Is it prepared for 5-point belts?
Yes. This version includes the relevant belt openings and a 5-point rosette set. Use appropriate mounting points and follow the belt supplier's installation instructions. - Can it be installed in a Porsche 914?
The Rallye frame design uses a mounting layout intended to support installation in the 914 with the appropriate tilt or slider bracket.
