The P1 seats I find super narrow in the hips. I wonder if there is a way to take some padding out in the interim while I find a more permanent, economical solution. dont feel like dropping another 10-25k on just seats. I can live with the P1 seats if I have to. Not the end of the world.

If you do decide to switch to Senna seats, be careful with the choice. Dalton said mine are the narrow chassis, I was previously unaware that the chassis itself came in two sizes, but they are extremely narrow in the hip area, they fit me perfectly but a couple of people who've tried them were unable to sit all the way down. It's not the pads either, they have the thin pads. I'm probably going to get some softer side pads made for the passenger seat.

I own a 765 spider with Senna seats and am well aware of the difference between the Touring and Regular sized Senna seats.

Well that's a good start.

Porsche produce great engineered cars with great quality. And when it occasionally does go wrong, Porsche always stand behind their products. I have seen cars that were out of warranty for many years and had their engine replaced under goodwill. Recently there was a Carrera GT that had a pitted crankshaft and Porsche replaced the crankshaft no questions asked for free on a 18 years old model. This particular Carrera GT never had an engine out service due to its low miles, so the new owner who bought it couldn't have known it had a pitted crankshaft. No arguments or fightback from Porsche. And parts arrive fast on air freight if needed to be.

Next time when a part breaks on your 765LT, see how easy it is to have Mclaren NA replace those things for you under warranty. Any Mclaren owners (including myself) who have dealt with Mclaren on warranty will know what I'm talking about.

I love my Porsches. It's the gift that keeps on giving!

This is absolutely the case. They replaced the clutch on my 951 long after the original warranty had expired. The original clutches suffered from exactly the same problem as the McLaren DLD, with the springs breaking, they replaced it for free without me even asking.

Come on bud, quitting on Porsche is like quitting on Patek because your AD won't sell you a Nautilus/Aquanaut without ADM (or bundle) and now you had gone to buy MB&F

And yes, Mclaren is kind of similar to MB&F, making cool products in a short relative time, but there is no history or dealer network to back up service.

It's much easier to feel like a big fish in the much smaller McLaren pool....😂

If it’s really a problem and affecting your comfort level then I’d consider swapping out the drivers seat with your passenger 765 seat (I’m pretty sure you can swap passenger with driver seat in manual seats ).

it might look awkward but I’ve seen cars with bucket seats for driver and passenger seat has a comfort seat . This would be the most cost effective and quick solution ….

note; I had a senna seat in 765 coupe and comfort seat in passenger (my dealer threw in a senna seat as part of the purchase on that particular car )

This is not possible unless you also swap over the occupancy sensor which the driver's seat doesn't have. I've been wondering about putting the comfort seat back on the passenger side.

Did you call AZ Cycle Parts. They may have a set of seats.

They sell them on Ebay. There's always a good selection of seats there.
