    Recaro's and Seat Belt Receptacle install question

    I am installing a set of Recaro's with the E21 adapters. It looks like the seat belt receptacle will slide on just fine, and then get a C Clip to keep it in place. However, it flops around a bit and I was wondering if someone can send me a picture of teh receptacle mounted to the adapter?

    Also, need a DIY to remove the receptacle from my old seats!

    I dealt with this. The stock seat belt will need to have the inside filed a little bit to fit. You also wiggle and pull the recliner bit infront of the seat belt by the circlip straight out with pliers.

    Can you give more details about these seats. Which ones are they and what seat tracks are you using.

    They are looking so good.

    Thanks.

    These look like Trans Am recaros to me. (Same seat, different headrest?)

    These are seats I located on No California and they were recovered by Dave at Aardvarc Racing in San Diego. Recaros that may have come from a Mustang from the early 80's due to the mesh headres, which I actually love!
