FUN FACT: The passenger seat's sides and back are, like all stock 986 seats, vinyl. However, the sides and back of the new drivers seat are leather. It's my understanding it came out of a 996, so I guess they went more upscale on the 911 model to justify the elevated price tag.

Today's project: Mount the passenger seat in the car. It's supposed to be 95 degrees today, so I'll break out the box fan and probably another fan as well.

Stiglitz, I'm glad the clamp method worked for you. As tight as the leather was on the bottom cushion after adding the heat pad, it was my salvation. Looking forward to seeing photos of your project.

KevinH, your advice has been indispensable and I thank you for the kind words. I might not have attempted this project without the wise counsel and encouragement from you and several others. And I enjoyed the Indigo Girls' song. The lyrics definitely apply.
