Where to get seat mounts?

[hawkwind]

A buddy of mine has a pair of Recaro seats that he bought 15-18 years ago. They never been used and still in packaging. They look as if brand new. He is willing to give them to me for nothing. Where can I get seat mounts for these? Do I have to talk to Recaro directly or is there a place that make seat mounts?

Question:

Do people not read the How-To section ever?

No one makes brackets for the Pro. You will have to build your own or have someone custom make them for you.

Click HERE (http://msg.toprotege.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=33;t=4334) to build your own.

Sorry, never thought of checking the how to section for this. I just assumed you could get some sort of kit.

WOW! I just talked to Performance Improvement, who are a Recaro dealer. They do have a kit for the Protegfe5. But they are damn expensive.

162.99 per seat for the brackets
163.99 per seat for the rails.

So this is going to cost me $652 just for the kit for 2 seats. I guess its not too bad if I am getting the seats for free but its still damn expensive.

Your seats don't come with universal sliders?

I happen to know that custom welded brackets for the seats would cost ~$130/seat.

I am not sure if they come with Universal sliders. The seats are from the 80's and they are currently in New Hampshire. I am going to ask my buddy about that. I may just go the custom route to save the cash. Just waiting to here from a couple more places on prices for these kits.

Just found out that the seats already have sliders. So I just need the brackets and I found a place that will manufacture them for me for a good price.

I am in the midst of installing my seats. Dave's how to was great....but I had to do some CUTTING via blow torch and some welding due to the position of the sliders that come with the Tenzo's.

they do have the brackets now, it was made for mp3, but fits perfectly on pros. can't remmeber who makes them tho, i think its the manufacturer of Vracing seats

jason/Dave: if we customize our stock bracket, does that mean i can't install my stock seat back on the bracket, if i decided to sell my car??

dave: where is this place that do customize bracket? cuz i'm sure by the time i sell my car, i would luv to keep my seat....so i guess if the customized stock bracket won't work on the stock seat again, i might as well j/ get someone flame a bracket for me..

Yellowp5: Unfortunately, my install will not allow me to put the stock seats back in if I decide to sell the car. If I do decide to sell the car I will either sell/trade my seats with a fellow Protege5 member, or I will visit the junk yard.

When I sell the car I will be around 30 years old. I will have no use for Sparco seats. However if I wanted the old pro seats I would just trade with a fellow P5 owner - just like Jason.

Give Zoro Muffler a call and they should be able to fabricate a bracket for your seats. This is a good WESTSIDE shop for every install - except audio.
