Scheel-Mann or Recaro Seats

[Alex7]

Thanks! That's a big reason I went to the trouble of importing it as it fits the theme well and is very interesting.

I got it from Yahoo Auctions Japan but there are also good options from UpGarage you just have to keep an eye out. They won't ship something so large so you have to use an exporter. I used Jesse Streeter who specializes in exporting and had a very reasonable fee. The shipping was pretty expensive though. I spent 45k Yen + Local Shipping and other fees 20k yen + 65k Yen DHL Air Mail shipping in 2022 and the prices have gone up since then .

I've actually sold my 80 series so I was thinking of selling it. It's mounted on a slider and an 80 series Planted seat bracket so it bolts up. It has double lumbar adjustment, 3 way power seat adjustment (but not front/back), and a slide out leg bolster, but it developed an issue where it would occasionally pop a fuse. I think I may have not used high enough gauge wire....

At any rate for an ONSC member I'd let it go for 850 the 80 series bracket and sliders. It might be the only one in this color in the US, the brown is a lot rarer than the dark gray and I don't believe this model seat was sold here.

So, just a planted bracket and slider, but did the planted bracket pre drilled/cut holes line up enough for it to be a bolt on solution ? What brand slider did you use ? Thanks for posting this.

No problem, the bracket mounts up 100% and is bolt on. For the slider I got a generic one off of ebay and it fits, mostly but needed a bigger spacer. The mounting holes for these things all seem to be copies of each other.
