New Recaro Racing Seat, Specialist S Compatibility

Post by csvnevada »

Has any one installed the new Recaro Racing Seats, Specialist S in a 1979 (early) BMW E21? I currently have original E21 Recaros borrowed from my 1982 E21 (320is). They need to eventually go back into my 82is. So would like to try the new Recaros Specialist S in my 79. They do look fairly period correct except the bolsters look to be lower. Are they a direct replacement? Not sure if the new Recaros have changed the threaded mounting point locations or if they will be the same as the 1982 Recaros. So far haven't been able to find a diagram of the bottom of the seat with mounting point dimensions. Any help would be appreciated.
