Replacement Seats
Hi, I just came into possession of a 1964 C and I am thinking of replacing the seats. Before you torture me for going rouge, back problems are dictating something different and I do not want it to end up being a hangar queen. Does anyone have a suggestion of after market seats that would be an easy install? Thanks, Jim

Re: Replacement Seats
Welcome. Not sure that I can help you much. Probably the most common swap is a Speedster type seat but I doubt that they would be better for your back. Flofit Recaro LT series and even 914 seats have been mentioned. Perhaps find a Recaro seat dealer near you and see if they can come up with anything? https://www.recaro-automotive.com/us/comfort According to this article: https://www.hagerty.com/media/automotiv ... s-exposed/ The Recaro Expert Houndstooth is supposed to fit: https://flat6motorsports.com/products/r ... xCEALw_wcB Some careful measuring is advised.

Re: Replacement Seats
When you said going rouge did you mean politically, as in red? Or going rogue? Either way nonstock seats is not a crime.
