Recaro Seat Strap Kit
$45.00

Are you sitting too low? Can't see over the dash? If you have older BMW 320is Recaro seats in your 320, 2002, or other Bimmer (or older Recaro seats from (or in) any other car), you probably know what I'm referring to. The seat bottom suspension in old seats disintegrates with time, and the bottom collapses.

The solution is our seat webbing kit, custom built to fit vintage Recaro seats. The kit includes six new webbing straps (three per seat) and about 20 new 'hog-ring' clips. The straps are a little narrower than the original ones, but they work just fine.

Note: This kit will also replace the single sling-type straps common to the VW Jetta and aftermarket Recaro seats from the 1980's and 90's. If you're converting from the single sling-type suspension to our 3-strap version, you'll need to order 12 securing clips to fit the straps to your seat pans.)

 
Release Knob for Seat Back (Late)
$8.00

New. Recommend purchasing Metal Clip for Seat Back Release Knob.

 
Bezel for Seat Back Release Knob (Late)
$8.00

Fits seats with release knob with smooth face. This product is brand new.

 
Insert (Roundel) for Seat Back Angle Knob
$10.00

Fits '82-83 E21 Recaro seat angle knob that bolts directly to the shaft. The knob has 4 large finger detents and has a bit of a cross shape. Insert cover is approximately 30mm in diameter.


 
Upper Hinge Cover Left Seat (Outer)
$35.00

No longer available from BMW.  I'm sorry but I have no solutions to this issue at this time.

 
Bezel for Seat Back Release Knob (Early) [USED]
$4.00

Fits seats with release knob with small triangle on face.

 
Seat Back Angle Knob (Early) [USED]
$8.00

Fits earliest E21 Recaro seats (77-78).

 
Recaro Seat Repro Adjusting Knob Support
$34.95

This part has been no longer available from BMW for over 20 years and I have recently had an OEM piece copied and printed using 3D printing technology. Here are the details:

Copy of BMW part # 52 10 1 875 827

The listing is for the control handle support only. No bolt, no knob, no bracket.

Cosmetically not perfect, but I am trying to keep costs down, and the cost of this piece goes way up if it is smoothed and made to look pretty. Since a control knob fits over it, the aesthetics are not very important.

The unit is constructed of ABS plastic and fits tightly to control shaft, and the control handle fits snugly to the support piece offered in this listing.

Each seat requires 1 control knob and support, so if you need 2 of them, select 2.

If you want a control handle, you can order one from Aardvarc here.

 
 
Release Knob for Seat Back (Early with triangle) [USED]
$4.00

Used. Recommend purchasing Metal Clip for Seat Back Release Knob.

 
Insert Cover for Seat Back Angle Knob [REFURBISHED]
$4.00

Fits angle knob from earliest E21 Recaro seats.

 
Recaro Seat Installation Bracket Set for 2002
$179.00

Aardvarc offers custom-made adapters to fit any vintage Recaro or other sport seat with a 16-inch wide seat pan into a 2002 with stock sliding mechanisms. Our powder-coated adapters are modeled after the OEM E21 320iS adapter brackets, fabricated from cold-rolled steel that's been bent and punched to simplify the installation. Comes with washers and nuts to secure the four 2002 sliders to the brackets.


 
Securing Clip for Seat Strap (Single)
$4.00

These replacement wire clips attach the Recaro seat suspension strap to the seat pan frame - if you're rebuilding your own seat bottom and have missing clips, this is what you need (buy 12 if you're updating a single sling-type strap to our 3-strap kit).

Price is for one new clip - each seat uses six (6) clips.

 
 
Cover for Seat Back Angle Knob (Molded Roundel Emblem)
$50.00

Fits '79-81 E21 Recaro seats. Snaps on to support wheel that bolts to the adjustment shaft. Support wheel is NLA, but Aardvarc has remanufactured them. Be sure to ask!


 
Recaro Seat Installation Bracket Set for E9 Coupe
$135.00

Aardvarc offers custom-made adapters to fit any vintage Recaro (or other sport seat) with a 16-inch wide seat pan into a BMW E9 with stock sliding mechanisms. They're fabricated from cold-rolled steel that's been punched to simplify the installation, then powder coated. Comes with bolts, washers and acorn nuts to secure the four E9 sliders to the brackets.


 

Recaro seat parts can be difficult to locate, and many of them are NO LONGER AVAILABLE. However, Aardvarc stocks many of the available hinge covers and knobs (new unless identified as USED), as well as adapter brackets and the popular Recaro Seat Strap Kit. (Sorry - if you're looking Recaro parts that are not shown below, we don't have them available for sale.)
