Delivery...

This came on a rainy day.
Have to put it in the garage until the rain clears...


 

Porsche 914 Seat Track...

The 914 driver's seat was turned into a tall stool on wheels for the garage.
The seat track is still on it.
The design/engineering of the seat track is quite elegant in it's simplicity and minimalism.
The seat itself is very simple also.
It's a single piece of molded fiberglass with some padding and trim attached to it.
Very lightweight design.

LH side of the seat track.  The lever is for adjusting the tilt of the entire seat.
It's a very simple mechanism with a locking tab that fits into three or four teeth with a simple pivot at the rear of the seat track.


The seat fore-aft adjustment is by pulling up on this lever which releases a tab in the seat track.
This cast handle is prone to breaking if it's pulled up with too much force...
