@joedubs I just installed my sliders to the seat today and no mention of any spacers. Where did you install the spacer?

Also the recaro bracket 87.11.15A seems to be a euro part only. Any recommendations for a company to get this shipped to the Us? A few sites are saying it doesn’t work in the MK7.5 which I find odd since it has the same bolt pattern.

You can e-mail HPA's sales and they should be able to source the correct bracket for you as they did for my '19 R.

Do you have a part number(s) of the base you ordered?

My 2-B instructions stated for the Sportster - bolts, spacers, and washers. Yours is different. I'll see if I threw that paperwork away.

The part I circled in this image may interfere with the bracket. Does it sit below the face of the slider?

Maybe we have different sliders???

Edit. Found my instructions.

I wonder if we do. I know there are two kits but didn’t know what the differences were with the different part numbers. Do you have kit pn 7227671?

So in regards to the two different slider kits this is what Recaro NA stated. I'm not sure what hinge cover they are referring to, and I guess many companies need to update their site as that's where I got the part number for the kit I purchased.

"Hello all Sportsters need 7227671 – it is the same slider kit as the 0.70.9nt however it contains a spacer so that when you slider the seat it clears the hinge cover.

As for the base, we don’t’ have access to the part number you have provided. I cannot answer that portion

Thank you!"

Hey guys if anyone is interested, I make an airbag canceller using the OEM plug, lots of people running them. I also sell the rail sensors and I'm trying to get stock of the heat pads. Goal is to be able to sell a package to guys that are doing seat swaps. Both for NAR, EU and other ROW cars. Annoyingly everywhere seems to do things differently. A lot of credit goes to this thread and those that paved the way.

Recaro brackets came in from the UK today. $255 shipped. Bieber I feel like it’s missing pieces. Maybe I’m wrong?

I have sliders. Looks like no hardware and when I try to line stuff up it doesn’t line up at all.
