197 F1 Recaro's

[catherinej]

Can anyone tell me if the Recaro's as found in the F1 can be "transplanted" into a 197 or does the seat use a different mounting mechanism/runners etc.

What about the seat covering can you get that as well so it matches the rest of the interior?

Also what about the airbags?

The Sportster CS can come with either no airbags or side airbags, like the original 182 seats. Easiest option is no airbags and when fitting the seats use airbag resistors on the original airbag-seat loom (very simple to do). I know you can get a kit to hook the CS airbags to the original loom but of course those seats are more expensive than without.

As for covering, I presume you mean the materials used? The CS can come with exactly the same trim as in either the 182 or the 197, although the black alcantara is slightly different but only under close inspection.

What about putting them in a 2002. 1.2 Dynamique???

Is this easy? or do the subframes have to be changed? can anyone recommend any nice seats for a 1.2 dyanmique??

 

[182joe]
