Need Help Finding Pic of Recaro Sport Bucket

[bob tilton]

I have unsuccessfully used the search feature but can not find a pic SWBSAM had posted of a Recaro Sport Bucket Seat. It is a printed black and white pic with the "4 legged style" at the sliders Recaro Bucket with model year dates at the bottom...67-69 I believe. The seats did not have high bolsters. Please help my lame arse out here. TIA.

Sorry Mike,

Rematch, Best two out of three?

It was funny because I was reading that very thread earlier in the week. Obviously, I could not remeber the exact thread title, I kept thinking itchy fiberglass...

If I remember, it was on the Recaro website, but they seem to have changed the site

Thanks guys! I see that Sam typeset the "Pre 67" on that pic but noticed the "3/69" date in the lower right corner. I had assumed the early recaro bucket/rallye seats were the 4 legged design as opposed to the flat style at the seat rails. I am looking for seats that are most appropritate for my 68. I like Vintage Seats R Model the most. I like R2 model but want something with headrests. I like the ST Driver/RS Pass combo but feel that is more appropriate for a LWB.
Also Dave from TRE has been kind enough to send pics of some seats he has in progress.
Decisions...decisions.

It might be interesting to have this style seat with the fabric back of the early bucket seats.

Bob,

The last picture that you posted is a pre 67 sport seat which are extremely rare. They are like a wider speedster seat. The 4 legged type that you are referring to are 67-68. In fact the black and white posted has the 68 design headrest. In 69 Porsche went to the ST type of shorter and slightly wider seat like the first one that you posted. Then there is the Scheel that porsche used in 67 and 68 as well. That was used in the R and my 68 LW had them too. I would use the 4 legged design for your 68. the Scheels are tight and high bolstered as well. Hope this helps.
