Recommended Posts

If you're going to use this How To then do so as a "grown up" - that is look after your safety and more importantly the safety of others.  

You may want to disconnect your battery.

You should make sure the car cannot unintentionally move whilst you're working on it or leaving it incomplete.

You should validate all torque setting for yourself.

If you feel as though you've gone astray then stop, walk away, have a mug of brutally strong engineer's tea with two shortbread biscuits, and go back to it.  If it still doesn't feel right then stop and ask someone for help.

Here we go:

The M8 x 28 E12 Torx bolts to the floor are 65Nm and seat belt bottom anchor is 50Nm.  Data from Porsche workshop manuals dating from 2001 and 2005.

Great to have confirmation and source  

Thank you 👍

good write up, might well use it in the future,

How easy is it to install 987 seats in a 986? always thought my full electric 986 seats could do with being 2 inches lower, which i understand the manual 987 seats are...

Straight swap mechanically, and I'm pretty sure for electrics too.  A number of people have done the swap.

Thank you - appreciate you making time to say so.

The images are jpegs of A4 sheets so they should print well for those who like me prefer something that’s “always on” when you need to refer to it.
