You will definitely have a hard time finding parts for an '83 tii!!

 

Do you need the knob or the cover plate?

LOL- I can't believe I put '83...can you tell it's been a crazy month? ?

 

We need the cover plate.

We need the cover plate.

Anyway, the cover plate and the seat are from an e21, late 1970’s, so ‘73 is not a relevant date for purposes of this part search.

 

Regards,

 

Steve

I have bought recaro parts from Aardvark.  They may have what you need.

For some reason the drivers side cover plate is really hard to find.

It was a long time ago,  I believe I had to order mine from a dealer based in Greece on Ebay. Maybe the plugs from ECS? 

Depending on the style of Recaro seat, some Recaro parts can be ordered from VW part sites. Also Check with Dave Varco at Aardvarc Racing. He may have some Recaro parts available. 

 

Is this part 3D printable? There may be enough demand to warrant a scan and printing. 

 

Cheers and good luck.

Dave at Aardvark Racing should have them

Agreed with @Mark92131 and @esty above - I just ordered one from Aardvark - $10 and shipped quickly (both sides should be the same)

Thanks!  I see the knobs on Aardvark, but like @vicleanardo1, the cover plate is a tougher search. Glad to know of Aardvarks now.

 

Thanks for all the tips!

It is best to call Dave at Aardvarc Racing, he may have parts available that are not posted online. If I have time to go through my million receipts and find something helpful (like the part number, who I used for parts etc) I will let you know. 

 

Cheers!
