recaro ls parts ?????

[ozzy2006]

Just wanted to know if e21 recaro seat parts such as the tilt lever and bezel would be compatible for the recaro ls that was made available for the e30. Basically need them for my own seats and found a website that sells parts for them

http://www.2002parts.com/bmw/5-speed-trans.html

If anyone knows any other places to get them in the u.k the info would be great.

Thanks

Not sure if the parts from the e21 seats will fit, most of the parts for the recaro ls seats are nla best bet will be to check realoem for compatibility

Recaro LS = Nightmare

Most are tired old scrap with missing bits and broken frames, that is before you look at the well seasoned material. All long since NLA and I am sure the parts are not interchangeable, the E30 seat looks completely different to the E21 variant, especially the tilt function.

OP out of interest what do you have, which cloth etc? Pics?

Not my PIC but mine look like the ones without the Motorsport badges

mine defo bmw ones checked for all labels and logo on the plastic mechanism cover

going by real oem and this other website the look the same but need a definitive answer.

plus some parts are not listed anymore such as the metal clip and the bezel

I have the same problem on my set mate:





Pain in the arse.

I too have had some trouble with my E30 Recaro Laether LS seats

but these guys are at least in UK and can provide quite a lot of those annoying spares

as an alternative you could always try a new pair of replicas from:

Good info but that website does not do the tilt levers and brackets etc so still in a pickle ....
