Seats slide terrible?, I fixed mine with 911 sliders Options

[PRS914-6]

I mounted my new GTS Nurburgring seats in my car, cleaned all the brackets and re-lubed the sliders but they were still terrible. Since I have short legs, I have to slide my seats back and forth each time I get in and out of the car. Stiff sliders were not going to cut it and I needed a fix. My 911 slides really easy and I decided to use the 911 ball bearing sliders....Here is what I did and I am VERY pleased with the results.

To keep the seat as low as possible I removed the old slider off the tilt bracket by using a spot weld drill

Next I ground off all the remaining spot welds.

Slot the 911 sliders the same as the 914, they are about the same length and drill a hole in the slider to bolt the front end of the slider to the front of the tilt bracket. I used a 3/4" wide plate underneath and drilled and tapped it for 6mm to spread the load and act as a nut


Bolt it together and locate the holes for your seats. My seats required cross pieces as well.


You may need to use spacers to get it above the adjustment arm and the hinge but it will be no taller, even with the spacers, since the 911 sliders are 1/4" shorter than the 914. I ground down the adjustment arm and slotted the cross plates to keep my seat as low as posssible.

The results are amazing! Out of the car, you can move the seats with one finger. Sitting in the car, the seats will fly as soon as you lift the handle and of course the tilt mechanism still works like normal. Cost:$50.00

Well done.

Not to disparage your effort, but I had better luck with the stock sliders.

When I installed my GTS seats I could not adjust the seat without pounding on the seat. I removed the seat with slider assembly attached, turned it upside down, and loosened the attachment bolts to the seat. I moved the sliders around until they were in alignment and retightened the bolts. Now it glides smooth as silk.
