    WTB - Recaro seat bases/frames - B4 80 Sedan

    As mentioned in the title. WTB - Recaro seat bases/frames - B4 80 Sedan

    I have a pair of recaro pole positions that I want to mount in my B4 Quattro Sedan.

    Let me know what you have available.

    Thanks!

    MK 3 Golf items are virtually identical, just need a slight tweak to make them fit a B3/4 platform car properly...

    Hope this helps widen your search.

      OEM MK3 Golf or Recaro specific? Sorry novice over here!

      If you or anyone you know has access to parts numbers, that would be of incredible help! Or if you know where I could source both RH and LH side base and rails!

      Cheers!

        It the bases from upgraded Recaro seats from posh model that are very much the same as the Audi Recaro bases, OE MK3 Golf seat bases are a totally different thing again an no use at all to you.

        I don't know or have access to part numbers, Tractor Dave might have the numbers for the Audi RS2 Recaro subframes noted down, he's done a serious amount of work on them!

          Thanks K Simmonds - I've managed to locate the part numbers for RS2 Recaro subframes but they are impossible to acquire - period.

          Sounds like the MK3 option might be slightly more obtainable.

          I did find these, but I haven't a clue if they fit/work in a B3/4. : https://www.plantedtechnology.com/pr...pplication=202

          I am open to any options that I can get my hands on as the seats are sitting waiting to be installed, and no local fabricator can even look at the job for 6-9 months.

          @TractorDave - Would love any guidance and or advice you can offer up here to locate a suitable base frame to get these seats in.

            I will check my photos and see if I can find a part number. Those above on the link look nothing like RS2. But if you are fitting newer Recaro seats they might work? I think you might need to get creative with your welder.

                      Personaly i never had to buy these as I used rs2 seats. A lot of guys in Germany used these as the original recaros are hard to find or cost a Fortune.
