Fabrication/Recaro Seat Recommedation

[darkstar1974]

Hi All. I have a 73 that the previous owner installed seats from a Turbo Beetle. I've bought a set of E21 Recaros to replace these. Primary issue is the VW seats are bolted into the floor and the original seat mounts are gone.

 

Are there any recommendations for folks that can undo the seat install and fabricate some mounts for the Recaros?

 

Thanks

Hi--

I recommend Superior Upholstery on Erickson Rd. in Concord. But I suspect that's a lot farther than you want to drive.  I found that Jose does good work at a reasonable cost.

Hi Larry - Thanks for the info. That might be a bit of a haul but I'll keep in mind if a few other options don't pan out.

Easiest thing to do would be find someone parting out a car that you can cut the factory seat mounts out of. Then you just need to have someone weld them into your car.

 

The e21 Recaro brackets bolt on to the factory sliders.
