Looking for a pair of E21 Recaro hinges.

[TrentW]

I'm trying to get my hands on a driver's side LS-C for the E30. I mean ideally I would like a matching set in Houndstooth, but I'm pretty sure that's near impossible!

I may have a DS LS-C soon. I'll let you know if it happens.

You should be able to get $300 or so. They're low end Recaros though and not as desirable as the LS or LX models.

That sounds about right. $300usd is ~$380cdn, which is close to what I've listed them for locally.

I would have thought more then that, from the right buyer?

Thanks for your help :)

You should be able to get $300 or so. They're low end Recaros though and not as desirable as the LS or LX models which are more comfortable, have much better bolsters and are a much higher quality seat.

I've got a pair of LX's for sale that need recovering and I'm asking $450. Shameless plug.

IMO ..fr whatever its worth....

look at post 803...same???????

hope u paid under 300 usd for the pr...

Wow, that post was even on the same page as mine -.- Not sure how I missed it.

There's no additional information as to the model of the seats though. They will clean up to almost perfect.

Just bought this set of vintage Recaros locally.
I don't know anything about them, except that they were in a second gen (74-81) Ford Escort. They had rails to match the car, but I don't know that they were original to the Escort.

They seem pretty bog standard to me, not even a tilt-forward option on them for back seat access.
They're not the right style for my E30, so I'll be reselling them.

I love the color, it's actually a nice blue. My phone camera doesn't do it justice. I'll try to get some better pictures later.


Any idea what model these might be?

EDIT:
From some googling of "factory recaros", it appears these are from a Chevy Lumina 9C3, of all places. It looks like they came with the police package.

1. Covers 1 and 2 are from opposite side seat, so my need are reversal version of those two. Parts 3-5 need is as seen in pictures.

2. In brochure pic you can see triangular adjuster knobs. I'm in need of
1-2 of those also.

3. Control panel has thee buttons to empty air pressure. 2-3 pieces of these.

Is there a spare parts catalogue available for C Classic or Ideal seat somewhere?

I have these coming over in March for my e28. Non forward reclining for four door cars. I think they are LXB. Now to decide how to reupholster them and who to do it now that Ron is out.

All you Recaro Guys, did any of you manage to source matching Recaro fabric for your Recaro seats?
I just picked these up yesterday, and they're Brown, so I really want to match the rear seat to the Recaros.

[TrentW]

Has anyone ever found a source for replacement foam? Need seat bottom section for my LS, has a split across the bottom.

Might try the awesome green label 3M spray adhesive.
