New pair of GT3 replica seats for $600 - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Quick update:
After a wait time that seemed to take forever, the BK side mounts finally arrived.
And guess what: The holes in the seats don't match the holes in the side mounts :-( and I am sure it's not Brey-Krause who screwed up here ;-)
So, another story of "you get what you pay for"
I am now in the process of making the seats fit, but unless you enjoy drilling holes into new race seats you might rather pass on this opportunity

So I guess I took one for the team ....

Bummer for sure. Hate it when that happens. Thanks for the heads up.

This seems more common than not. My shop also had to custom fit the holes for my Sparco Pro2000 race seats to the BK mounting brakets and sliders.
The only thing that I can conclude is that there is no "standard" hole pattern so everyone does it a bit differently.
