    Olde thread alert... but it's an interesting thread.


    Darth,
    Did to manage to fit your seats into your car?



    Does anyone know if Recaro ever made a purpose-built base for fitting Idealsitz S into a pre-'73 911? (It needed to be non-tilting and raked)

    I can give you a definitive undefined answer.
    They listed their Brackets even in later catalogs only as until 68.
    However they show an Idealsitz S in a LWB Targa

    However you can mount the seat on the early tilting base and you can use the Brackets used for GRP buckets also.

    The IdealsitzS does not need any tilting mechanism. I have seen some Recaro non-tilting brackets but they are not raked unfortunately.

    I know I have some of them.
    Well Recaro offered a DYI bracket kit for 2 seater (non tiltable) (#11.56.19) and 4 seater (#11.22.09) so with some amount of flat 5x30 and round steel ø14 you're free to build any "original Recaro DIY Bracket" you'd like.

    I did. I originally used the tilting base as shown in a early post in this thread, but then changed them for something similar to these



    I then made a bracket to attach the original comfort seat, seatbelt brackets to.

    Hi,
    Thanks. Are you sure it's 5mm thick?

    These were introduced later - They didn't exist back then when the Idealsitz S was still in production.
    I have some of these somewhere. But they are part of other Brackets so I don't know if they have a part# on them.
    IIRC they were part of some Opel Brackets
