FAQs
Are these side mounts universal for all Recaro seats?
No, these side mounts are seat model specific. You must choose the variant that matches your particular Recaro shell seat model to ensure proper fitment and FIA compliance.
Do I need these mounts to use my Recaro FIA-approved seat?
If your Recaro seat is FIA-approved and you intend to use it in a motorsport context requiring homologation, you generally need the specific, compatible side mounts to maintain that approval.
What does 'FIA Compliant' mean in this context?
It means that when these specific side mounts are used with the corresponding FIA-approved Recaro seat, the entire seat and mounting system meets the safety standards set by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile for motorsport use.
Can I use these mounts with seats from other brands?
No, these side mounts are designed exclusively for use with Recaro shell seats and are not compatible with seats from other manufacturers.
What is the difference between Option 1, Option 2, and Option 3?
Each option is designed to be compatible with a specific set of Recaro seat models. For example, Option 1 is for standard Profi SPG and Pro Racer SPA/SPG seats, while Option 2 is for Pole Position N.G. and Furious seats.
How do I determine the correct option for my seat?
Refer to the application list provided by Recaro. This list details which side mount option (Option 1, 2, or 3) is approved for use with each specific Recaro seat model.
Are installation instructions included?
While specific hardware may be included, detailed step-by-step installation guides are best sourced from Recaro's official documentation or a professional installer, especially for critical safety components like racing seats and mounts.
Troubleshooting
Seat feels loose after installation
Double-check that all mounting bolts connecting the side mounts to the seat and the seat to the vehicle are securely tightened to the correct torque specifications. Ensure the correct side mount variant for your specific seat model was used.
Side mounts do not align with seat mounting points
Verify that you have selected the correct side mount option for your specific Recaro seat model. Cross-reference the seat model with the application list. Ensure the seat is oriented correctly.
Difficulty threading bolts
Ensure you are using the correct hardware for each connection point. Check for any debris in the threaded holes on the seat or mounts. Do not force bolts; re-align components if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: These side mounts are designed exclusively for Recaro shell seats. It is critical to consult the application list provided by Recaro to identify the correct side mount option that corresponds to your specific Recaro seat model (e.g., Profi SPG, Pole Position N.G., Furious, etc.). Using the incorrect side mount may compromise safety and invalidate FIA approval.
Setup: Installation typically involves attaching the side mounts to the base of the Recaro shell seat using the provided hardware, ensuring all bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specifications. Subsequently, the mounted seat assembly is secured to the vehicle's floor or a suitable subframe using appropriate mounting points. Professional installation is recommended, especially for FIA-approved configurations, to ensure correct alignment and secure fastening.
Care: To maintain the integrity and appearance of the side mounts, clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which could damage the finish. Regularly inspect the mounts and all fastening hardware for any signs of wear, stress, or loosening, particularly after demanding use. Re-torque bolts as per the vehicle and seat manufacturer's recommendations.
