Recaro seat hinge
Posted: Mon Jan 05, 2015 6:56 pm
Can anyone help me with fixing the tipping mechanism on a set of recaro seats?
I've bought a cable fixing kit as the levers on the side of the seats don't work.
I've just come to sort it out but it looks like the lever at the base of each seat, on the hinge, has been broken in the past and welded, quite badly. One still has the small retainer for the cable nipple, although slightly misshapen, but the other has been removed as a result of a messy weld.
Can anyone give me a pic of how the hinge lever should look, including the lug for the cable nipple?
If possible a close up of the way the cable should be routed as it comes out of the seat back, and round to the lug would be a big help as the black and white picture in the kit instructions is not very clear.
Fortunately for me my dad is a welder so I should be able to get the hinge levers redone properly once I know how they should be.
Thanks.
