do you happen to have a way to measure the diameter of the recaro rod that the knobs fit onto?

i can measure the end of the early 02 rail ... and then i can get a sense if they are 'close enough'

 

here is a (blurry) pict of my knobless rod (which seems an appropriate term for the thread title)

 

thanks!

OK, Geoff!

 

Reporting back with my findings. The Recaro seat adjusters have 5/16”-diameter, smooth-shaft levers, as below.

 

Regards,

 

Steve

Excellent ... and thank you!

 

this is 8mm to the rest of the world ...

the ebay seller of the reproduction knobs says his parts have a 9mm bore to 15mm deep

i'll be getting a set to try

they are also going to send me a set without holes ... so i can make my own slip fit

 

thanks again for the lead.

should be awesome!

 

cheers

There belongs a small toothed metal thing between rod and button.

@uai: you are correct ... there should be a small 'star' collet ... on the end of the lever arm

 

but i only had one ... not two ... so wanted to make sure i didn't have to chase TWO sets of parts!!!

 

in fact ... these collets do not show up on the parts list ... likely because it is expected to be integral to the knob.

 

THAT SAID ...

I was able to get a set of the recaro knob reproductions from ebay ... here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-911-912-Recaro-Seat-Knobs-Replica-PAIR-Black/141210843468

 

thank you @Conserv for the ebay tip and the dims...

 

i had a chat with the seller (who is also the producer) ... he was able to send me two UNDRILLED knobs ...

so i just drilled them out to be a tight slip-fit to the non-collet lever ...

and everything is as perfect as it can be.

 

thanks everyone!!

for all you period seat freaks

this is about one of the most desired period recaros around..........

for an 02 guy, the turbo seat or the unicorn sport seat may be more desired......but as an aftemarket seat, this baby is da bomb...I walked away from many at 550 each.........geeeez.

here is a set redone...5600 euros....jus sayin

oops......I am not selling them..they  are not mine....

want them?......... message me.......I think the forum may be off limits to see the ad.....not sure.

 

Forgive my ignorance as I just recently entered the world of 2002's but what seats are these? They are gorgeous.

Hi James.  How do they fit onto the existing seat mounts?  I really like them.  Might be a good investment for long distance road trips.
