rafikdous Posted 11March, 2022 Report Share Posted 11March, 2022 What do you do with back seat access if you fit fixed back front seats? Just ignore back seats? Has anyone tried to hinge the front seats AKA 356 speedsters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone tried to hinge the front seats AKA 356 speedsters? I have fixed buckets in Harry and with the half cage as well it has rendered the rear seat area pretty much totally useless. I can just get my helmet in if I move the passenger seat forward it just shoehorns in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 11March, 2022 Report Share Posted 11March, 2022 They're a pain if you want to access rear seats Raf. I've had race seats in mine, and even lthough they're great for holding you in place when driving in the hills etc, I'll never have them again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADS911 Posted 11March, 2022 Report Share Posted 11March, 2022 Even cleaning the back window is a challenge with fixed back & scaffolding, definitely a 13yo son job! LeeM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9er Posted 11March, 2022 Report Share Posted 11March, 2022 I have a tilting seat mount for the passenger side, which makes it all easy. similar to this LeeM, tomo and MFX 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1q2w3e4r Posted 11March, 2022 Report Share Posted 11March, 2022 Unless you had some type of hinge so they tilted forward I'm not sure of the legality of having fixed buckets with rear seats (pretty sure from memory it isn't permitted) as it hampers access and egress of the rear seats. Passengers also wouldn't be able to exit easily/quickly in event of a crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZ930 Posted 12March, 2022 Report Share Posted 12March, 2022 I told you that you would need one of these Jeff or modify the 911 MFX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB911 Posted 12March, 2022 Report Share Posted 12March, 2022 Where did you get the tilting seat mount from? Would be very handy on the passenger side to access the rear space in my GT3 with LWBS's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9er Posted 12March, 2022 Report Share Posted 12March, 2022 Pretty sure I got mine from Stefan at GTS classics in the USA, but I think Alexander from "Boys own Garage" may be able to source them nowadays. LeeM and tomo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 356 Speedster seats has a similar concept although the frame is made out of timber. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is definitely on the books now I had a look and there are a few options out there, but some some of them I don't like the look of the latch as it looks a little flimsy if you have an accident. I am sure I can build something that does the job nicely though. 6 hours ago, OZ930 said: ....but you still have the cage to get through to get to the rear window.. I need to get around to paring back my cage. It has too many bars and is massive overkill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81SC Posted 13March, 2022 Report Share Posted 13March, 2022 BF Torino have tilt frame kits as well. Phil Lack in Melbourne was the Aust. distributor when I bought my Nurburgring seats. https://bf-torino.com/Tilt-Frames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
