Picked up some Cobra Suzuka seats and mounts today to go in my 924 Turbo (sorry its not a 944 but the basics are the same!) and none of the holes match up. Without wanting to butcher the mounts, drill additional holes in the floor or weld in plates, whats the best way or product to use to mount up the seats with or without sliding adjustment.
 
I have suzukas in my 944 turbo. The way I did id was:
Remove old runners of 924 seat, match up new side mounts to runners and modify so that side mount bolts to runner. Bolt the runners to the floor of the car, drop seat in place. You will require a coupele of large washers in between seat and side mount in order for a tight fit.
 
I have Corbeaus that were on runners originally for some BMW and about 2 inches narrower than the 944 runners. I simply bolted two horizontal bars across the floor of the 944 and then drilled holes in these bars to match up with the mounting holes on the BMW runners.
 
Thanks for that. I got bored last night so re drilled the mounts to suit the stock mounting bolt holes. Due to my head being so close to the top of the windsreen/sun visors I felt there was no room underneath for runners. Also had to add an additional hole each side/front to allow the seats to tilt back further as they were too upright.

Test driven this afternoon and with the Gaz Gold's its a super stiff ride! Great at speed and around the corners but certainly not a daily driver.
