BMW E21 recaro to G's???

I was told that recaro seats from earlier 3-series (e21 320i) much like similar to the original G's recaro? Since G's recaro are hard to find, it can be the best alternative. I guess you also need to get matching brackets...Has anyone done this before? Any trouble getting/installing the seat with G's bracket adapter?

Re: BMW E21 recaro to G's???

check out the recaros in my cabrio,they came out of a rover 800.i got them from ebay for about £100,front and rear.the base is wider than the original recaros so fit bigger people much better than original.trust me i have two G's with recaros and the rover ones are better but a little higher bolstered.no cutting was needed to the center console,but brackets were made up and fitted by the rails in the folding base due to the wider seat.

check my pics in albums and see for yousself.

check out your pics and the rover seats look awesome. How hard is it to install the seat? Do you use the original brackets? Thanks
