Wanted - MkII VW Recaro leg bolster foams

[Jand3rson]

I'm looking for a pair of right and left side lower leg bolster foams for a MkII Recaro seat. I'm having my set reupholstered soon, and if I can find these myself in the meantime before I have them done, it will save me a bit of money and save the place doing it a bit of time.

I need a full pair, right and left side foams for ONE seat. They must be in perfect condition like the ones pictured, no crumbling, cracked or damaged foams, please. If you have a set, or know someone that does, please let me know asap!

Please, any of you guys out there with friends in the VW scene, please pass this along! I'd really like to find a pair as soon as possible!

Good news, I found one side, now I just need the other! Needs to be the left bolster, opposite of this one:

Looks like they don't have anything listed on the website for MKII's, but if you call/email them I'm sure they'd be able to hook you up.

Really trying to find them used in good condition here before I have to order them from the UK, but I did already know about Capital.

Capital Seating does have some Mk2 stuff listed, but not specifically for U.S. bound cars. However, the Edition One GTI had the same seats as you have, just with a different fabric, so you'd be okay to order the foam for those seats. I know a few people who have ordered from them with success; prices were reasonable too.

If you want to stay in the U.S., try http://www.jjcustominterior.com/Home_Page.html He may be slow to get back to you, but he seems to always come through in the end. I'm sure he could obtain the bolsters for you.

I see you managed to find one good used bolster, but even in the VW world they're tough to come by, especially the left side versions. About two years ago, I bought the remains an OEM VW rebuild kit for these seats from a guy who said it was the last nationally available kit back in '97. I think he paid $700 for it.

BUMP!

Still looking for a left side. Going to call Capital Seating on Monday, but I'd still like to find one state-side.

That being said, if someone has one that's even in decent condition, I'm not beyond repairing one. I rebuild a pair of them on my last set of MkII Recaros using high-density foam, and they came out really good. So if someone has a left-side leg bolster that is nearly-good, depending on the damage, I'd be interested in it, as well.

Let me know what you've got!
