Mr. Anderson, you got the website? I also need some replacement bolsters for my set of Recaro's. Thanks.

Nice work. Looks like an MC Escher staircase. :up:

Brad took a bunch more pics of his mounting system for me today, since he's got almost the same seat as I have. It's going to be SUPER easy to mount these up.

And even better news, I found a site in the UK that sells replacement bolster foam for the crushed outer driver side one I have, and for dirt cheap!

[Rogan]

good choice :)

I'm not even using the stock VW brackets/sliders at all now, I took them off yesterday and threw them in the trash. They're a really shitty design.

I'm going to make 2 pairs of adapter plates and mount the stock E30 brackets to the bottoms of the Recaros, just like Brad did, shown above.

The slider sections are all fucked up in the VW.

The front 'mount' is a centrally-located "pin-type" mount, and the rears are side-mounts, that slip into sliders (kinda like a kitchen cabinet drawer, sorta..) the rear legs have plastic clips that cover them, so it isn't metal-on-metal sliders. the front has a rubberish thing that wraps around the bracket/pin section..

just a rough idea of what the sparco sliders looked like when i had Torinos in my Mk2 GLI

HOLY CRAP!!

I have the same exact seats! When I sold my GLi, I kept them for use in another VW, but they have just been sitting around. I didnt think you could make them fit.

Mr Anderson and E30Idea...can you guys send me pictures?

[sumyungguy]

those look like the Recaro SE Im running....



And here is a picture of the brackets I made to attach to the stock sport seat sliders.





Hope that helps!

^^^^^ LOL no problem, they are all yours. You should have just called. If you dont have my #, Luke does. .

Would you mind taking pictures for the general E30 public? I'd appreciate it anyway..

I will get some pics up soon.

[Jand3rson]

Ryan, I will definitely take those off your hands. Let me know when they'll be available.

I was hoping you'd notice this thread, because you were the one person I knew that had them, but I couldn't remember your screename.

[Lair]

Those seats are worth the effort.

Josh, I have those seats in my car and I am going with new sparco seats in a month or 2. If you want my sliders you can have them. My sliders have 3 settings for height and fit perfectly. I will get more money selling the seats to VW owners than E30 guys so the sliders are worth nothing to me. I just cant promise when mine will be available. Or I can take a grip of pics and you can copy mine if you like. Let me know.
