Maybe someone here know this (beings there's next to zero traffic in the 968 forum).....

I've just dumped my seats, and I have two bloomin great holes where the seat back latch pins were, just in front of the rear arches. Are the CS' a different panel without the hole, or are they plugged somehow?

Ta!
 
have you got something in to replace the seats like the CS seat delete kit? or just left it bare?
 
I built up a small platform to take the seatform out of it. It's not finished properly yet, so no pics yet i'm afraid.....
 
I am pretty sure that the 968 rear trim panels are different to those on the 944 as the rear windows are different.

Despite jibes about the 968 being a Mk3 944 (or is that a Mk 4 924?) they are some fairly significant differences in some places. The rear windows are bigger on the 968 and bonded in flush with the body. This is a more much more modern solution, and looks far better - not that I would necessarily be tempted to hand over £5K in a part exchange for Beaky on the strength of the design of the rear windows though.
 
Forgot to add. There was some guy on e-bay who had done some fibre glass 'CS' type shells to put over your rear seat delete. Might still be on there somewhere, done quick search but didn't spring up.
 
yeah there is a guy on ebay making cs seat delete kit for £250 trimmed already.

Not bad price really
 
Is it the one linked on 968UK where effectively all he had done was covered a 944 seat base in carpet for £250?[FONT=verdana,geneva"] [FONT=verdana,geneva"]Mike I think they may well be different, albeit the CS has 944 front door cards whereas the 968 Coupe has different ones. The rear seat on a 968 which has one is much more like a 911 rear seat in that it's the floor section carpeted with only a trimmed pad in the bottoms rather than the 944's full foam section.[FONT=verdana,geneva"] [FONT=verdana,geneva"]Personally I left the rear seat fixings alone with the rubber finisher rather than removed them an left a big hole. I also made the foam covered in carpet delete kit (as it weighs very little and blocksa lot of noise) for about £75. I'm no upholsterer unfotunately though.[FONT=verdana,geneva"]
 
Thanks guys.

I've made my own delete kit, and trimmed it myself with some carpet I found at the stoneleigh classic show. It actually matches perfectly, and I wish i'd got some more at £20 for 4sqM. It just shows the fading on the existing rear arch carpets (and without proper equipment, there's no way I'm gonna try and retrim them!)

I was hoping the trims were the same, and there was a bung, although now I'll do some filling and trimming with some vinyl to fill them neatly. Oh well, more sticky fingers.... [&:]

Luckily I have a few skills when it comes to interiors. You don't become a "good" car interior designer without being able to build some of it yourself! [:D]
 
I snapped a couple of quick pics of what I've done so far. It needs a bit of tidying, and the carpet needs sticking down properly, but you get the idea.... You can see those holes in the rear panels too. not nice. Yet......

6mm mdf. as were the two little pieces that cover the vertical gap from the board to the crossmember (gave it a bit of support....).
 
Looks quite good. Is it heavy? Is there anything under it to keep the transmission noise out?
 
it's a bit lighter than the seat base itself. (by my mmmmm, that's not bad hand scales). I put smoe thin sound deadening on there that I'd used previously on the triumph. nothing fancy, and it probably won't make a hell of a difference, but it's was a thought!
