I have a set of Scheel seat that I’m contemplating on installing. I’m wondering as I’ve heard the rails are very hard to find. I need to get the seats out storage but thought I’d check here first as to if it’s possible to use the 914 rail or would I need to adopt? Thanks!

The Scheel 114 was a perfect fit in the 914 and just used the stock seat rails. Others may need modification to see if they’d fit.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) scheel brochure from the day said the 114 was built to fit a 914. The other scheel seats like a 300 fit a 911. But from what little I know of scheel seats, the real 914-6GT seat was a 911 seat. Glenn/GMS & company probably have a lot more info. |

Yes, Glenn knows these seats. You will need to adjust the rails for the scheel seat you got from me. Had to use a crowbar to get it out of my car, that's how the rear puncture in the vinyl happened. Check with Glenn. BTW that seat used to be George's then it was Brad Mayeur's and I bought it from Garold, Lol! |

So are the ones I bought from you the 300 series as mentioned used in the GT 6? Wondering did you adjust the rails and still have a fit problem or? |

Wes, Glenn/GMS told me the 6GT seat is very similar to a 300 but no provision for a headrest. |
