Recaros in

[Ksamyui]

Got the Recaros in.
I noticed the little cable thing - which I assume operates the slide bit of the tilt-and-slide - has snapped and neither seat slides forward to let passengers in and out. How tricky is this to fix/replace? It looks like a little plastic cable outer holder has broken. I was thinking of 3d printing something or machining something out of metal.

I presume you mean near where it attaches to the mechanism on the seat back like this?

The black collar seems to be connected to the outer sleeve but you could machine something similar and glue it to the sleeve.

It’s the end that’s on the rail itself that’s gone.

Oh, with the spring in it? Hmm not sure about that then. What's broke exactly?

It’s the end of the outer cable, there’s a plastic cylinder with a groove that slots into a holding point on the rail. I’ll try and get a pic later.
