Rubber Blocks Recaro Frames

Post by 72911E »

I believe the blocks are NLA. However, searching I found the below link.

Just not sure where or what to ask for at the local DIY store. Had a look in B&Q yday but could not find anything similar.

Must be able to get something similar here in the UK??

They were a 356 (Speedster) part - something similar is still available from Stoddard's:

Might be worth checking with PRS, Roger Bray, et al.


However, I'm sure you should be able to find (or modify) something similar cheaper in the UK.

Hi Derek, I have been meaning to get this part remade. Reading this thread has reminded me so I will look to get them done some time in January. They are pretty simple and should not take long. In case it helps we already make the runner bushes for the sport seat.

Thanks

Alan

Hi,
The part shown by Andy is available from Porsche and starts 644.
I tried it and it is too small. Luckily I found the 4 that I needed.
But if Alan gets these done as well as the 'U' shaped clear plastic pieces on which the seats move back and forth on, if that is the part Alan means, then great.
Kind regards Ian

Derek - just wait for Alan to remake them. I've been searching for ages including all the places mentioned and haven't come up with anything. I've got some of the ones from Stoddards (picture in Andy's reply) and they're not right.

I made a run of them for my SWB Recaro tip brackets (I repro'd the SWB tip bracket and will have the sliders soon). This is a pic of the first prototypes. I'll have this run in January for those using them on SWB tip brackets. Not sure if they are correct on the LWB tip brackets, but I'll figure that out. If you're in the USA, they are cheap to ship. If in the UK, may want to wait for Alans....

sorry haven't figured out how to add a pic here....

Hi Alan - have you managed to get these re-made?

Thanks.

Came across these recently which I think are a reasonable temporary solution while we're waiting for the proper ones to be remade....
