Recaro Seat Base

[Thecatmilton]

Does anyone have a Recaro seat base? Mine has been messed up since I bought the car and I am tired of my low sagging seat. It is cracked and bent in several places.

If you were closer I'd weld it for you.

Someone on the BMW 2002 Classifieds has one. They are sending me pics this weekend.

I ended up finding one for $20 + shipping. There is some rust so I am going to hit it with my needle scaler, sand blast it, and then repaint it.

I finished my seat up today. It was interesting to see what I had been missing. I should have replaced the seat base before I sat in it for 20k miles.

The old seat base wasn't just cracked and bent. The tubes that support the bolster foam were broken on both sides. The left side was completely broken off while the right side was only broken on 1 side.
