While doing a conversion to Recaro seats on my son Nick's
car, I noticed that are differences in the
seat brackets that hold them into the cars. This particular E21 he took the
seats out of had the seat
belt lock built into the brackets. Here is another look at what was needed
to complete the job. |

| Above:
The original seats still had padding but the back mechanisms were shot.
|
 |
| Above:
The new seats
were black velour, so we had them replaced with Blue velour to match. |
 |
Above:
The webbing was shot, so we had the upholstery shop put new rubber web
straps
to keep our rear ends off the floor. What a difference this makes and
it's cheeeep. |
 |
| Above:
Strip your brackets down to the bare mounting rails and bolt them to the
2002 brackets. |

Above:
I think the two-tone Black and Blue looks nice. I still think we need
more padding on the
underneath side of the seats to make them more comfortable. As the interior
is done on
Stella we'll revisit that idea. |
