[s-cars] RS6 and Recaro

[Vincent Huang]

Adam,
	If you indeed did take those pictures then you know my source.
And those seats are MINE!!!!  The rear seats he got from the RS4 did not
fit in his car.  Josh has assured me that the rear seats from a Euro S4
sedan will fit and he has ordered the necessary pieces to make the
conversion.

Hehe.  Small world.  I think I may have taken those pictures.  The RS4
seats
are a direct bolt-in for the B5 S4, but the rails are about 3/4" closer
together than the C4, so they will not fit the older cars.  But the
UrS4/S6
seats offer WAAAYYYY better support than the RS4 seats, so its a
non-issue.
Also, the rear seat backs will fit the B5 Avant ONLY.  We trial fit a
set in
the back of a 2000 S4 sedan and the latch for the fold down feature is
completely different.  Also, the trim piece between the seat and the
door
frame is about 1/2" wider on the Avant, so it leaves a gap in the
Sedans.

On a similar note, anyone have contact information for Ben Howell?  I
believe he managed to shoehorn a pair of S4 seats into a '91 200.  I
want to
know how he "bent" the brackets on the seat frame to fit the rails.
They're
BEEFY!

TTFN,
