resurrecting an old thread here but was talking to my mate about these seats and since my car is coming back soon it's something I need to fix. I'm needing a new diaphragm for the drivers seat, outer base bolster and a top bolster but don't wanna go for these incase they are the wrong ones

Show me a picture of your seats and I'll tell you which parts you need from Capital :)

Haha now your asking should have one somewhere my car is still in the body shop so can't just take one. I'll have a wee look the now

What does the diaphram do ? where does it fit and how is it operated please ?

The diaphragm sits under the seat base to support your arse when you sit down.

My diaphragm needs some serious bolstering / reinforcement ..... Damn you chocolate...... damn you Mcdonalds....... I am weak..........:crying:

Here's the parts you need as I'm assuming you have the Speed seats fitted (if they're the optional Recaros).

 

Diaphragm: http://www.capitalseating.co.uk/productdetail.asp?pid=325&type=s&appgrpid=&appid=&rid=61

 

RH lower bolster: http://www.capitalseating.co.uk/productdetail.asp?pid=319&type=s&appgrpid=&appid=&rid=61

 

Now, your upper shell is a tricky one and that's why I need to see a picture of the actual seat before I tell you what's what. Recaro made two variants of the upper shell for the Speeds - one with quite spiky upper sections (where your shoulders go) and one with more subtle, rounded ones.

 

So I need to know which yours is :)

Posted in my other thread that has a pic of my seats mate they are in the post zed 2.0

Looks like you have SR2s in your Zed, so this should be the part you need:

However, it might be worth dropping them a line and explaining that you have the more pronounced "spikes" at the shoulders, just to make sure they can still supply the matching part.

cheers mate what il probs do is get the diaphragm the now as mine has snapped and wait till im gonna get them retrimmed to do the other 2 bits. be great to get them all redone and looking good again

Are you looking to have them retrimmed back to OEM spec?

 

If you are, I can tell you now that the Le Mans fabric (for the seat centres) has long since been discontinued and even Recaro themselves can't supply it anymore! :(

Not sure if it will be popular on here but no not back to original. not sure what to do as I'm not keen on doing them all leather

Still not got this done but it on the list to get done shortly luckily the link mondo posted to the parts I needed are still there handy for anyone needing bits for there recaros

Hi I've just joined up yesterday do you guys know where I can get my seats re-trimmed I've got a 93 slick top and the leather seats have turned to cardboard? Don't know why ? 

I'd like them done somewhere that won't mean me having to sell the wife's body to prostitution.

It didn't work last time I tried the poor bloke is still having his teeth fixed and I still need my seats doing !  HELP!
