Handmade around a welded lightweight steel tube frame, the TransAm combines high lateral support, a low seating position and Duralastic suspension to create a classic competition-style seat suitable for restoration, restomod and historic motorsport-inspired cars.
This version is designed for cars using a 5-point harness and features the required seatbelt cut-outs with finishing rosettes.
Inspired by Classic Trans-Am Racing
The Trans-Am race series brought together some of the most recognisable performance cars of the period, including Mustang, Cougar, Corvette, Camaro, Porsche, Challenger, Datsun, Charger, AMC, Triumph and Jaguar.
Many competition cars used lightweight fibreglass, alloy or specially fabricated racing seats to provide drivers with greater support during demanding race conditions.
The Retro Trim TransAm recreates this purposeful appearance while providing a seat suitable for today's classic car enthusiast.
High Lateral Support
The TransAm features raised side bolsters extending towards the front of the seat to provide increased lateral support.
This helps hold the driver more securely during enthusiastic driving while maintaining the distinctive appearance of a traditional 1960s and 1970s competition seat.
Designed for a 5-Point Harness
This version incorporates dedicated openings for routing the waist/lap belts of a 5-point harness.
Seatbelt cut-out rosettes are included, providing a neat
finished edge around the harness openings while maintaining the classic
appearance of the seat.
Lightweight Steel Tube Frame
The seat is handmade using a welded lightweight steel tube frame, providing a strong foundation while retaining the lightweight philosophy of traditional competition seating.
Fire-resistant foam and Duralastic suspension belts provide a firm but comfortable seating position, helping make the TransAm suitable for longer road journeys as well as historic motorsport-inspired applications.

What This Product Does:
- The timing chain is a Porsche component designed for certain Porsche models (for example, the 718 Boxster, 718 Cayman, 718 Spyder, and possibly newer ones) to control the timing between the crankshaft and the camshaft(s).
- Its role is to synchronise the valves opening/closing with piston movement — ensuring engine timing stays accurate under load.
- As the chain rotates, it transmits mechanical power from the crankshaft to camshaft(s) so that the proper valve events happen at the correct times.
Symptoms Of Failure:
- Rattling noise or audible ticking/knocking from the engine’s timing cover area — often when starting cold or idling.
- Check Engine Light (CEL) setting, often related to cam/crank correlation or timing issues.
- Poor engine performance — misfires, rough idle, reduced power or hesitation due to the timing going out of spec.
- In worst-case: the engine may fail to start if the chain has jumped teeth or broken entirely.
- High mileage wear: If the car has many km/miles, chain stretch becomes more likely.
- A properly functioning timing chain is critical for engine health. If timing is off, valves and pistons can collide (in interference engines), causing serious and expensive damage.
- Replacing the chain before a major failure prevents catastrophic outcomes and engine downtime.
- Over time, even if not broken, wear will degrade performance and reliability — so replacing a worn chain restores optimal operation.
- Neglecting a bad chain can lead to much higher repair costs, such as cylinder head work or complete engine replacement.

Diagram Ref No 1
Operating continuously whenever the engine is running, the timing chain transfers rotational movement through the timing system and helps maintain the precise mechanical relationship between associated engine components. Accurate timing is essential for correct valve operation, smooth combustion, reliable starting and consistent engine performance.
Although timing chains are designed for extended service life, continuous mechanical loading, friction, heat and lubrication conditions can gradually cause wear to the chain pins, links and contact surfaces. Timing-chain guides, tensioners and sprockets can also deteriorate. Excessive wear can increase chain slack, produce abnormal mechanical noise and eventually affect timing accuracy.
What This Product Does:
The Timing Chain transfers mechanical rotation through the engine timing system and helps maintain the required synchronisation between associated rotating components.
Depending on the specific engine configuration, correct timing-chain operation helps support:
- Accurate mechanical engine timing
- Correct camshaft operation
- Correct valve timing
- Crankshaft and camshaft synchronisation
- Reliable engine starting
- Stable combustion
- Smooth idle
- Consistent engine performance
- Predictable throttle response
- Reliable power delivery
The chain must remain correctly tensioned, properly lubricated and securely engaged with its sprockets for reliable operation.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
Possible symptoms of timing-chain or associated timing-system deterioration include:
- Metallic rattling or clattering
- Timing-chain rattle during cold starts
- Rattle immediately after engine start-up
- Mechanical noise from the timing area
- Noise that changes with engine RPM
- Excessive chain slack
- Timing-chain elongation
- Excessive tensioner travel
- Rough or unstable idle
- Difficult or extended starting
- Reduced engine performance
- Poor throttle response
- Engine misfires
- Check-engine warning
- Timing-related diagnostic fault codes
- Camshaft-position faults
- Crankshaft/camshaft correlation faults
- Variable valve timing faults, where applicable
- Visible chain or link wear
- Worn or damaged timing-chain guides
- Abnormal sprocket wear
- Metal or plastic wear debris in the engine oil or filter
These symptoms do not automatically confirm timing-chain failure. Defective tensioners, damaged guides, worn sprockets, variable timing components, sensors, wiring faults or lubrication problems can produce similar symptoms.
Why Replacement Matters:
The Timing Chain performs a critical mechanical role within the engine timing system.
Replacing a confirmed worn, elongated or damaged timing chain can help:
- Restore accurate mechanical synchronisation
- Maintain correct engine timing
- Restore dependable timing-chain operation
- Reduce excessive chain slack
- Reduce abnormal timing-chain noise
- Maintain reliable sprocket engagement
- Protect timing-chain guides
- Protect associated sprockets
- Reduce the risk of timing deviation
- Reduce the risk of the chain jumping
- Reduce the risk of chain derailment
- Support smooth engine operation
- Protect expensive internal engine components
Ignoring a confirmed timing-chain problem can allow wear to progress and potentially turn a timing-system repair into a significantly more extensive engine repair.

For particularly tall drivers, the seat can also be customised with a lower seating position, providing additional headroom while retaining the appearance of a traditional ST-style bucket seat.
Original-Style Recaro Mounting Pattern
The seat incorporates both the Retro Trim mounting pattern and an original-style Recaro mounting pattern.
This allows the ST to be used with suitable original or original-style sliders and brackets, making it easier to incorporate into period-correct classic car installations.
Have Your Seats Upholstered Locally
Purchasing the ST as a seat shell kit allows your preferred local upholsterer or interior restoration specialist to complete the finished seats.
This gives you the freedom to select leather, leatherette, vinyl, fabric or period-style materials to match the existing interior or create a bespoke classic Porsche specification.
Kit Includes
- Seat shell/frame
- Duralastic suspension belts
- Side foam
- Back foam
- Seat cushion
- Headrest

Diagram Ref No 16
The timing chain operates continuously whenever the engine is running, transferring rotational movement through the timing system and helping maintain the precise mechanical relationship required between associated engine components. Accurate timing is essential for correct valve operation, smooth combustion and dependable engine performance.
Although timing chains are designed for long service life, continuous mechanical loading, friction, heat and lubrication conditions can gradually cause wear to the chain pins, links and contact surfaces. Associated guides, tensioners and sprockets can also deteriorate. Excessive wear can increase chain slack, create abnormal mechanical noise and eventually affect timing accuracy.
What This Product Does:
The Timing Chain transfers mechanical rotation through the engine timing system and helps maintain the required synchronisation between associated rotating components.
Depending on the specific engine configuration, correct timing-chain operation helps support:
- Accurate mechanical engine timing
- Correct camshaft operation
- Correct valve timing
- Crankshaft and camshaft synchronisation
- Stable combustion
- Reliable engine starting
- Smooth idle
- Consistent engine performance
- Predictable throttle response
- Reliable power delivery
The chain must remain correctly tensioned, properly lubricated and accurately engaged with its sprockets to maintain reliable timing.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
Possible symptoms of deterioration within the timing chain or associated timing components include:
- Metallic rattling or clattering
- Timing-chain rattle during cold starts
- Rattle immediately after engine start-up
- Mechanical noise from the timing area
- Noise that changes with engine RPM
- Excessive chain slack
- Timing-chain elongation
- Excessive tensioner travel
- Rough or unstable idle
- Difficult or extended starting
- Reduced engine performance
- Poor throttle response
- Engine misfires
- Check-engine warning
- Timing-related diagnostic fault codes
- Camshaft-position faults
- Crankshaft/camshaft correlation faults
- Variable valve timing faults, where applicable
- Visible chain or link wear
- Worn or damaged timing-chain guides
- Abnormal sprocket wear
- Metal or plastic wear debris in the engine oil or filter
These symptoms do not automatically confirm that the chain itself is defective. Worn guides, defective tensioners, damaged sprockets, variable timing components, sensors, wiring or lubrication problems can produce similar symptoms.
Why Replacement Matters:
The Timing Chain performs a critical role within the engine timing system.
Replacing a confirmed worn, elongated or damaged chain can help:
- Restore accurate mechanical synchronisation
- Maintain correct engine timing
- Restore dependable timing-chain operation
- Reduce excessive chain slack
- Reduce abnormal timing-chain noise
- Maintain reliable sprocket engagement
- Protect timing-chain guides
- Protect associated sprockets
- Reduce the risk of timing deviation
- Reduce the risk of the chain jumping
- Reduce the risk of chain derailment
- Support smooth engine operation
- Protect expensive internal engine components
Continuing to operate an engine with a confirmed timing-chain problem can allow wear to progress and potentially result in significantly more extensive engine damage.

What This Product Does
A seat shell kit is the structural and padded starting point for building a complete classic car seat. Instead of supplying a finished seat in a predetermined colour or material, the kit can be passed to a vehicle trimmer for covering in leather, vinyl, cloth or corduroy. This allows the upholstery, stitching, piping and other finishing details to be selected to suit the vehicle’s existing cabin or restoration specification.
The Spa-Francorchamps design follows the profile of purpose-built sports seats associated with the late 1960s and early 1970s. Its square-tube construction, formed side and back padding, separate cushion and headrest create a period-style bucket seat suitable for classic road cars and interior restoration projects. This version is intended for use with a suitable 3-point seat belt arrangement.
Functions
- Provides the supporting frame and shaped padding for an upholstered seat
- Allows the covering material and trim details to be specified separately
- Uses flexible Duralastic belts to support the padded seating areas
- Creates a period-inspired sports-seat shape with defined side support
- Includes a separate headrest for completing the seat assembly
- Supports installation with an appropriate 3-point belt system
Technical Details
- Square steel-tube frame construction
- Includes the seat frame and Duralastic suspension belts
- Supplied with formed side and back foam
- Seat cushion and headrest are included
- Fire-resistant foam is used within this type of seat kit
- Incorporates 360 mm Porsche 914 and standard 385 mm mounting patterns
Symptoms of Fault
- Original seat foam has compressed, hardened or become misshapen
- The cushion sags or provides uneven support
- Corrosion, fatigue or previous repairs have weakened the existing frame
- Suspension straps beneath the cushion have stretched or failed
- Seat movement or rattling indicates worn mounting components

What This Product Does
A seat frame kit is an untrimmed foundation rather than a fully finished seat. It combines the supporting structure, suspension and shaped padding needed before upholstery is fitted. A professional vehicle trimmer can then apply leather, vinyl, cloth or corduroy to suit the car's interior, allowing the covering, stitching and piping to be specified as part of the restoration.
The Spa-Francorchamps design is based on the shape of period sports seats used during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Its square-tube frame, formed cushioning and separate headrest create a classic bucket-seat profile suitable for period-inspired road, restoration and competition-style interiors. Openings are incorporated for a suitable 5-point belt installation, with the supplied rosettes providing a tidy edge around the cut-outs.
Functions
- Forms the structural and padded base for a complete upholstered seat
- Allows trim material, stitching and finishing details to be selected separately
- Uses flexible Duralastic suspension belts beneath the padded areas
- Provides shaped foam for the backrest and side sections
- Accommodates an appropriate 5-point belt arrangement
- Includes cut-out rosettes for finishing the belt openings
Technical Details
- Square steel-tube frame construction
- Kit includes the frame, Duralastic suspension belts, side and back foam, seat cushion and headrest
- Fire-resistant foam is used within this type of seat kit
- Prepared with openings for a 5-point belt configuration
- Seatbelt cut-out rosettes are supplied
- Incorporates 360 mm Porsche 914 and standard 385 mm mounting patterns
Symptoms of Fault
- Original seat foam has compressed, hardened or lost its shape
- The cushion sags or provides uneven support
- Corrosion, fatigue or earlier repairs have affected the existing frame
- Suspension components beneath the seat have stretched or failed
- Worn upholstery has exposed deteriorated padding
- A complete untrimmed foundation is required for an interior rebuild
Why Replacement Matters
Starting with a complete frame and foam kit gives the trimmer a consistent structure on which to form and tension the upholstery. It avoids fitting new covers over tired padding or damaged supporting parts and allows the finished seat to be tailored to the vehicle's colour scheme and intended use. Final seat height, angle and fore-and-aft adjustment depend on the selected mounting brackets and runners. Seat mounts, belt anchorages and belt routing are safety-critical, so installation should use appropriate vehicle-specific hardware and be checked by a suitably experienced specialist.
