Hi,

i have recently purchased some 73 recaro sports seats. I noted that the recliner lever had swung out of position. I've taken both recliner hinges off and are a little confused. They only have one flange closest to the recliner mechanisms. All the pictures I can find in threads etc show 2 flanges. However mine seem to have a bell housing over the mechanism which I also haven't commonly seen. There doesn't appear to be an area from which a flange has broken though the mechanism may have smoothed it off.
Am I missing a flange and do I need to get it replaced or do I just need to bend the rear flange further over again? Any background on the hinge etc for my ongoing knowlege would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Martyn
