Had these pointed out to me by a member here:
http://www.bf-torino.de/BF-Sitze/bf-sitze.html
All in German but the short of it is that they make a range of seats for 60-70 sports cars. This is how my 912R's turned out in the 69 HT:







Very high quality, excellent service and prompt shipping (just €40 to Denmark from Germany). They are less shiny than the old seat, but I think thats due to wear and vinyl cleaner.

Oh, and fit: I'm 6'3 and 100kg and they are just perfect.

On installation: I drilled 1 new hole in each seat bracket to get the same front to rear mounting hole distance as the original 69 seats, then drilled 4 new holes in the seat pan 15mm outside the old ones. Using those it was a snap to mount the seat through the original holes in the bottom and reinstalling the rubber plugs. In this position they will slide exactly as far back as the old seats, so if you have even longer legs you need to figure something else out. The headroom has remained the same BTW.

Those look really nice and I like the fact that you didn't need to remove the seat risers to make them fit properly. Too bad the site is in German. Do they offer different color material? I have ablue interior and will be looking for seat upgrades in the near future.

Those are pretty nice. Doesn't look like the butt pad is real high either. No pan mods. Sweet.

Prices are each and tracks for one seat is about $50 on top of that.

If it seems expensive, remember that these are made in Euro-land (Italy) and that the Euro is mush higher than the US$ (courtesy GW Bush ).
