1) Yes, Reacro Rallye recovered
2) Yes Recaro Rallye, but RS Lightweight shell looks same, but has different upper Sliders and GRP, and different Cover.

Thx.
So according to Info by uai
1) is confirmed
2) is a Rally "Ideal S" 1970 and later but NOT in use for 1973 RS lwt. ?
Or, just upper Sliders and GRP "wrong" and otherwise ALSO in use in 73 RS's ?

Thank you.

Hi Karim,
this seat (mould or shape) exists in several versions.

The difference with the "Rändelschrauben" Seat is as follows.

The one the picture is the aftermarket version.
The difference to the lightweight versions are.
Cloth Perlon vs. vinyl / corduroy
Woven GRP vs. standard glassfibre mat
6 screws mounting upper slider to seat instead of 4
The Lever on the slider is shorter.
On standard Sliders there is a sandwich plate between the slider and the seat.
On lightweight sliders there is no sandwich plate The tabs for the lever are welded directly to the upper profile.
You can see some of the mentioned stuff on my fs thread for the 3.0 RS seat.

Here a comparison upper picture is a lightweight (the spotweld for the front tab is broken).
Lower picture shows a complete upper slider and a single sandwich plate (early one no dimples for welding)

Is therefore period 1970 rally Recaro seat, one could order at the factory if desired.
Available until 1973 on all TES models.
(except RS which were different in sliders and cloth type)
