  • Recaro bucket seats and the z3m - airbag lights etc

    Folks,

    I am putting in some recaro SPG’s into my coupe.
    I have test fitted everything using floor mounts, recaro side mounts on adjustable sliders. The seats have previously been modified to fit in a coupe.

    A couple of questions:

    1) Retaining seatbelts - I want to retain my seatbelts as using harnesses is cumbersome for road use. Has anyone successfully bolted the seat receptacle to a recaro side mount or runner. If so what did you use?

    2) Airbag lights and occupancy sensors. Assuming the seatbelt is retained the pretensioner electronics will remain. What about the passenger occupancy sensor - would this bypass plug work?

    Thanks!

    Looks like it should work, but is probably just a 3.30hm resistor inside that would cost a few pence that bridges the loom plug. That plug is definitely a neat solution though!

      I used one of those occupancy sensor bypass units on my roadie - just simulates the seat being occupied so that passenger airbag deploys regardless of whether anyone’s in the seat or not.
