j_jza80 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I ended up taking a pair of stock Recaros and frames in px for the last pair i sold. These aren't in quite the condition of the others, but they're still very presentable. The outer drivers bolster foams have collapsed a bit, but there's no wear, holes etc on the fabric. I bought some replacement bolsters for the old seats to make them perfect, but the buyer was more than happy enough with how they were Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 Okay, I've some pics now. I had to fit them in the car, as I discovered the spare stock cloth seats I have are missing belt buckles Drivers seat: Please note, the bolsters look worse than usual, as I've pushed the fabric in to accentuate where they've collapsed. Please remember there's no wear etc to the bolsters. This is the passenger seat: Replacement bolsters: The only wear showing on these seats is a small amount of bobbling on the seat bases/lower backs. You can buy a cheap machine for removing these. I've tested the runners etc now they're in the car, these function perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 Okay, spent most of the day making the drivers seat good. I replaced the Bottom outer bolster completely, then I replaced all the seat back bolsters. As said above, Recaro don't make replacement back bolsters for these anymore, so the shoulder sections are a hybrid of the new and old ones. IMO it's worked really well. You can feel the repair if you dig your fingers in, but they look almost perfect, and you wouldn't know just to sit in them. You can see a very minimal amount of loose material at the top of the shoulders if you look hard enough, this is because of the new solid blocks recaro use to join to the headrest, not my repair. As I'm sure you'll agree, this will be one of the better drivers seats available now, die to Recaro not making the spares. The passenger seat is in even better condition. I got £600 for my old seats, I'm going to ask £550 for these. Obviously complete with subframes. I will take a pair of facelift mechanical seats in px, nothing else as there isn't the wiring in place for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 Fancy selling the subframes? give you £350 for them? Ja:) Hmmm... Tempting. If the seats don't sell shortly, I'll be in touch. BTW, I'd take a set of mechanical facelift seats in px (even for the frames), you have/had a set don't you? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 The wiring is very easy to get a drivers electric in if you are interested. I wired mine in recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wired mine in recently I'd guess it's just a 12v ignition live it needs? Where did you take it from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I'd guess it's just a 12v ignition live it needs? Where did you take it from? Even easier. It's a constant 12v feed so you can just take a decent length of wire straight from the battery and fuse it appropriately. I just earthed it to the submount. I checked a mates car to see if it was a constant feed or not, the seats work without any key in the ignition so obviously not a drain when not in use.

j_jza80 Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 Bump I'm really surprised how little interest I've had in these. Remember, these will be some of the best condition ones that still exist now. Most have sagging and broken bolsters. These are fresh, and belie their age.
