Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: These steel side mounts are designed exclusively for use with specific Recaro shell seat models. It is imperative to consult the official Recaro application list to confirm that the RC360942 model is compatible with your particular Recaro seat (e.g., Profi SPG, Pro Racer SPA, Pole Position N.G, Furious). Ensure you select the correct variant for standard or XL seat sizes if applicable.
