Recaro assembly.

[JayGT 0]

Just got some half leather Recaros but they were sent to me in bits...

Subframe is separated from the seat base which is also separated from the seat back.

Anyway assembly doesn't look too hard all i can see is 6 bolts that will hold it all together but does anyone have any idea what this is and where it goes?

there are four in total (two for drivers seat and two for passenger) it appears to be a washer but i want to be sure

When you fix the back to the base it's via a pin in the base that goes through a hole in the bracket on the seat back. This is the pivot point to tilt the seat forward. These clips are pushed onto the pins (one each side of each seat) which have a slot that should be visible once assembled. The clip just prevents the seat back bracket from coming off the pin HTH!

do you mean here? it doesnt seem to hold...

Yeh that's where it goes. You might need to push the bracket towards the seat base to make the slot in the pin accessible and then hold the clip in position then tap it home fully with a small hammer. If you take the plastic cover off your existing seats you'll be able to see it in position.

Looks good, are they electric or heated?

They're electric. Got a new loom from zerocool so thanks very much to him.

 

Wasn't too bothered about heated seats... I got a heater for that although it doesn't work properly in true Corrado fashion!
