Recaro install May 06, 2006, 06:37:09 PM I finally got around to getting some work done on the seat brackets for the Recaros in the Tbird. I was able to get the driver side done at least.The bracket is pretty beefy, but there will be no flex in it during "spirited" driving :hick: Then I got the seat mounted. Needs a touch more cleaning and another oddity I found...these are VW Recaros, and for some reason the recline adjusters are on the "wrong" side of the seat. The seast release lever is going to wind up on the inside of the seat instead of on the outside. Good thing the only thing that will be in the back seat will be the battery :D The grey is a little off, but it will suffice. Quote Selected

Recaro install Reply #3 – May 06, 2006, 07:17:42 PM The is for the recline. There's 1" or so between it and the cage bar. The Cobra seats were a tighter fit than these are.The brackets are beefy, but they are still lighter than the power seat bases... Quote Selected

Recaro install Reply #7 – July 04, 2006, 12:29:49 AM Yup, I don't know what VW you got them from but VWs have a console that starts farther forward so there's nothing between that part of the seats. Quote Selected
