Not quite sure what you're asking for - pictures of non-standard seats which offer better support ?

If so, I have these Ridgard seats in my 1959 Sprint:

Lightweight 911, where were you able to buy the brackets to hold your racing seats? or were they custom made. I need to fit my seats know and am trying to figure how to make a safe securing system while keeping the seats low.

Sprint seats

I make reproduction seats for Lightweight Veloce's and also make a Zagato style version which is an approximation of a seat fitted to the SVZ's in period.

I found the trimmed pic on the internet several years ago & adapted some of the Lightweight frame I make to suit.

Hard to make, every part is handed, the seats are handed and are different sizes as are the floor pans - they need a myriad of purpose made stuff to get them to look & work correctly, but they fit properly in a Sprint & use the standard seat rails.

Ciao
