Recaro in y61
Posted: 15 Jun 2015 13:55
So since November 2014 I have been trying to get better seats for my patrol. The need arised from a bad back that I have been born with, and after driving for 2 hours on any terrain/road my sciatic nerve plays up. So I need to have a better solution, the Y60 I had before I also felt that the seats were not great. Somehow the Germans manage to make their seats better.
I have managed to ship in base frames that bolt directly to the factory seat bolt holes, and are designed to accept the runners from Recaro. The base frames are made by Idealseat company of Melbourne Australia and are approved by their transport authority. The seats came from Recaro, and it was not easy, I will just mention that the local distributor is not good with customer service, and it is sad to see a company such as recaro being represented by them.
The seats are manual and don't have very high side thigh bolsters, they are marketed as orthopaedic seats, and are great, I am sure to transfer these to my future vehicles....if I ever find something better than a patrol.
