    ATTN: All Recaro seat owners, all models

    I need a BIG favor from you guys, and this is mainly a request to those of you with Recaro seats that aren't yet installed in your cars.

    I need good quality pictures of the underside of the seat base, specifically the part where the bracket hardware mounts, clearly showing the bolt holes. I also need measurements of the placement of the bolt holes, between the holes on each side of the seat, and also from the holes across the base of the seat.

    So if you've got Recaro seats lying around that you haven't installed, please help me out and get this information for me!

            Maybe this is the plan. Just give him what he asks for.

            Josh, I can get you some tomorrow if nothing else prevails.

              Under $100... PER SIDE.

              I've already made my own. This information isn't for use on my own seats. I'm getting info together to be able to make kits of the bracket adapters I'm using to sell, hoping that they can be used on several models of Recaros. Erick's seats are Recaro Speeds, and our brackets bolted to his seats using the same hole pattern on the underside of the seat as my MkII GTI Recaros have. And ours will be just over $100, for both seats, and utilize OEM parts.

                    PM me your email and I will send the high res files...

                    Also if you like I can lend you the original brackets so you can see exact spacing.

                      ZM, what model seat is that?

                      It's exactly as I suspected, the bolt hole locations on what appears to be just about all models of Recaros are in the same location as my VW Recaros. Which means that the bracket adapters we made to install stock E30 sliders on my seats will work across the board for all Recaros.

                        Not sure of the model, I have the original brochure somewhere in the garage. They are heated as well.

                            Are those made for using the stock E30 sliders, or do they replace them altogether? How much was the set, for both seats?

                              Yup, they mount to the bottom of the seats and the stock sliders mount to the brackets.

                              Not sure if they are still available, I picked up a set from a s14 member for 240 shipped.

                              Here is what they looked like.
