TravZ Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I got my hands on a set of LX-B seats, had them custom redone. Looking for a set of bolt in brackets / sliders for driver and passenger. Anyone have a good source?? Thanks all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowlerMonkey Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 At electrodyne, we sold the recaro brackets and I remember instructions to use passenger side rails on drivers side and vice versa. I'm sure it's written down since I remember reading it from a recaro catalog. Now this information is from 1986 so................... I figure by now that others have products to fill the niche.

manimal Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 I'm going to be producing them shortly. Here's a few shots of the "prototypes" with the seat in the car. They're tilted forward slightly to compensate for the higher thigh bolsters compared to the Z factory seats. They bolt to the factory seat adjuster rails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetsaz Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Am I reading this correctly? Despite being on adapters and worn out OEM seats you were able to get about 2in of extra head clearance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My recaros were rebuilt, so the webbing is still taught. I'll get some measurement with myself sitting in the recaro vs the factory seat this weekend. Mind you, this is with the plastic seat spacers in place(2 iirc, can't recall the thickness) with the factory seat and none with the recaro. The only downside to the seats is they're deeper so you can't get them quite as far back. I'll measure that distance this weekend too.
