Afternoon all. It's been a long time since i've posted on these boards, but now i'm back in a GTI (MK2 specifically) it makes a lot of sense to come back and see how much action is still around.
I've now retired my 16V to the garage for winter with a thought of getting a few of the little jobs out of the way. First on the list to whip out the interior and carpets, check the floor pans and tidy them up if required, a bit of soundproofing and some wiring to the seat bases, then put it all back together again. It seems an ideal opportunity to have a look at the seat mountings as i've noticed the steering wheel sits slightly off-centre.
The car has, what I assume to be, MK4 Escort RST leather Recaros mounted on MK2 electric Recaro bases. It appears there are some mods required to make this work, so i'm thinking that there's a chance the seat could be shuffled over. We're talking around 1.5" (40ish mm) further to the right I reckon. Has anyone else noticed there wheel being off centre at all? Has anyone else run the RST Recaro seats before??
