[urq] Sport quattro Recaros

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Indeed, Steve is correct: They are the 'C' type Recaros and I bought a set
that had come out of an early 911. I installed mine into my '83 and they
included seat heaters. The later ones (like on the SportQ) had open (rather
than solid) headrests and are even harder to find. These seats really hug
you.  The only thing I had to buy was the adapter from Recaro to fit the
seat to the 3 point mounting system of the urq. I highly recommend a pair if
you can find them.
