I put my bucket seat into my car, driver (right) only so I could get the kids in and out. (Not in at present BTW)

They climb over the seats anyway so I thought I may as well put the passenger side seat in too :nooo:

I have a spare set of rails, easy...













What I seem to have is, and here is the question, two sets of the same brackets. So two pair's of driver side brackets I was told.

Looking at the parts diagrams for seats/brackets, they list a part number for the left bracket and another for the right:

item 10.

So I call Porsche parts Silverstone and they tell me that they are all the same. No difference between passenger/driver side brackets. That I just need a pair, which I have.

So who's wrong? Friend who works at OPC or Porsche OPC part's chap? :pc:

99652192390 Driver side

99652192490 Passenger side

And also this:

99652192393 Adapter Parts Kit Seat Rail Left Seat (LL)

I know that one bracket is a bit 'wider' so it moves you away from the centre console a little, is that the same for the passenger side too :dont know:

TIA :thumb:
 
No direct experience but..

By 'bracket" do you mean the sliding rails or the mount (vertical) that fits seat to the rails?

It stands to reason that if the mounts are offset ( not symmetrical) to position the seat to the wheel/pedals ( more likely) then they'll be handed L/R too. Then there will be the seat belt receptable thingy mount point which is definitely handed so id say OPC are a bit wrong. Add to that there are two distinct part numbers...
 
Thanks for that.

I mean the mount, and I agree, I think OPC are wrong too :pc:

For the viewers at home only...


I have these, Driver side, so if you know the part number then that would be great:



















And here is a set of driver side and passenger side next to each other (yellow = Passenger side, blue = driver side), you can see that they are totally different and NOT the same as the OPC parts bloke said:











































Answers on a postcard or you can reply here... :grin:
