    Recaro bucket seats - ST, Rallye 1, 1328 - confused!

    I am looking for a single original Recaro bucket seat for my authentic GeLo Racing Team ‘72 2.5 S/T FIA replica race car and would like some help in understanding what the correct bucket seat model, as supplied by the factory, was, as opposed to Recaro aftermarket ones? I have seen various different references, including ‘ST’, to these seats in Google searches / eBay etc, but I want to be able to find the right one for my project by getting my facts right first!

    I will put a wanted post on the forum once I know what it is I need to be asking for.

    Also, some help with correct seat rails and cross-members would be appreciated. I believe these are the correct ones but could someone confirm for me please?

    Buyer´s choice competition seat
    7/71 lists only Recaro competition seat
    12/71- says only bucket seat (so also Scheel,....was available)

    no right or wrong, just a time correct seat

    The shown sliders are correct in case of a Recaro seat

    Yes, correct style but a tad too old - but no one knows that.
    And 13.28.00 is the correct recaro for an ST

    Thanks! And presumably no 'Recaro' logo on the backrest on 13.28.00?

    For standard sport this is common knowledge and agreed upon.
    For an ST I am not sure if it wouldn't have been just an aftermarket seat with the logo.

    Those sliders are indeed Recaro because I recognise my bench! They came off the adjustable seat immediately below which is more 72/73, however, the sliders (next photo) on a fixed race bucket (side on photo) which was circa 69/70 and the sliders on the 1968 '4 feet' bucket (rear/underside & last photo) were all the same.

    Not quite early ones have standard spotwelds late ones have dimpled spotwelds and Lightweight (RSH / RSR / 3.0 RS) were different in having no intermediate plate and a shorter lever.

    Thanks Uai, I should have said, the sliders were on the seats when I purchased them but no way of knowing if they were original to the seats.
