WTB: Seat recliner knobs

[ckeen74]

Both have mine walked off before I bought the car. This is the plastic knob as well as the metal bit that screws into the hole in the side of the recliner mechanism, in case those are 2 separate pieces. Please help, I'm unable to recline my seats!

Oh, car is a '72 2002tii. It's a German market car if that matters.

Let me check when I get home, I might have what you need.

Michael, did you get a chance to check?

Anyone else? Car would be so much cooler with reclining seats

I have two recliner knobs for original 2002 seats. They are not screw on--just push on. It's the two knobs at the lower portion of the seat. The upper knobs (that look similar) are not reclining knobs but for folding seats forward. Which knobs do you need? If you need the former, give me your shipping address. Will send them to you for cost of postage.

Thanks for the offer! I'm fairly sure when I looked that the receiving portion of the seat adjuster mechanism had a thread. I know it's a lot to ask for something you're sending for basically free, but do you have a picture? If not, I'll take the gamble for the cost of postage to SF, CA 94110 - email me at my username at hotmail.com and I'll send you the full address.

Thanks,

Chris

Chris,

Here's the photo. It's not that great, but are these the knobs? If you look at Maximllian web site (http://bmwmobiletradition-onlinecom.x-shops.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=2583&mospid=47141&btnr=52_2357&hg=52&fg=10), it's number 13 called "button." It's not threaded. If you want them, will send to you.

Once more...

That's definitely part of what I need, but I also need whatever it is these little plastic knobs slip onto. According to the diagram you linked to, #13 is one part - I wonder if it's an assembly of 2 parts... I'd bug my neighbor across the street, but his is a rubber-bumper car, which I believe has a different seat recline mechanism.

Can't help you with the metal pieces but you can have the plastic knobs. I'll email you and if you want them give me your address.

Bump.for this thread after a year. Anybody have one, or some stock seats they're getting rid of or parting out?

[ckeen74]

So it looks like the metal shaft I'm looking for was never available as a part - you have to buy the whole outboard hinge mechanism. Does anybody have one for both the passenger and driver side seats? These are the stock seats for the car.
