winchbietch 0 Posted May 5, 2012 [ATTACH]61633[/ATTACH] Anyone know if you can get the metal wire clips for the seat base on Recaro's Alternatively anyone with some spare?? Previously i have welded them back together to get me out of trouble but a few of them are past that idea..

Portent 0 Posted May 5, 2012 (edited) 87 Jetta 16v had some recaro spares on the bay. Not sure if it included these but worth contacting him. Edited May 5, 2012 by Portent Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Portent 0 Posted May 5, 2012 I reckon those clips should be fairly easy to make with done think wire like a coat hanger, some tin snips. And then pliers and some shaped wood to bend it around to make the shape. It might not look 100pc but should do the job in a pinch and won't be visible.

owen g60 10 Posted May 5, 2012 as far as i can tell from ETKA these parts are universal for all front seats on corrados and MK2s (probably more)... Part Number: N 0152611 or 867885447 I would check with the dealers or get down to a scrappy and go pillaging Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might come to that :grin: looked for Recaro spares from the uk dealers etc.. Much use as a chocolate tea pot But http://www.capitalseating.co.uk/productlist.asp?type=s&view=range&rid=61&mid=2 seem cheap for everything else that i dont need :) ---------- Post added at 10:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 PM ---------- as far as i can tell from ETKA these parts are universal for all front seats on corrados and MK2s (probably more)...

Can anyone confirm this about being the same as std seats - sorry to double question it but my local stealers got rid of the knowledgeable guys and replaced them with the numpties..

ETKA lists the same seat base for both types of seat then has a different back rest for the recaro ones Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
winchbietch 0 Posted May 5, 2012 ok mate, sounds good enough for me. Hopefully there not obsolete now.. :) Many thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dazfxvw 0 Posted May 7, 2012 They are not on standard bases for definite, they are recaro only. But the good news is they are found in loads of recaro's from the same time, so ford fiesta, escorts, sierra, mk2 golf, manta, astra etc- all the ones with removable subframes.

jeth1979 0 Posted May 7, 2012 Hi mate, just wanted to add my 2ps worth here.. The base of them seats looks exactly the same as my escort Rs turbo recaros, so have a look on eBay etc as theres plenty out there!! I have some seats and can send you a picture with clip lengths etc, but sorry seats are for sale so can't separate!! :-( ---------- Post added at 9:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 9:08 AM ---------- Hi mate, just wanted to add my 2ps worth here..
