This Recaro direct-fit sub-frame (part number 862616) is engineered for the Audi TT built before May 2006, covering the first-generation 8N platform. The frame bolts to the TT’s factory floor mounting points using the OEM hole pattern with no drilling required.
The 8N TT had a notably compact cabin. The original seat position was low and close to the tunnel, which creates a tight geometry that generic side mounts do not always reproduce correctly. The Recaro sub-frame positions the seat at the right height for the 8N’s seatbelt anchor point, avoiding the shoulder belt cutting across the neck that can result from incorrect seat height in a small coupe.
Fore-aft runners are included, so adjustment is retained. Fits Recaro base-mountable bucket seats and reclining sport seats. Does not fit side-mounted competition shells without additional adaption hardware. One sub-frame per listing, covering one seat position. For both driver and passenger, add to cart twice. When ordering separately from a seat, note your Recaro model in the checkout comments so we can confirm the combination before despatch.
If your TT is a 2006 model or later (Mk2/8J platform onward), the sub-frame listed for the Audi TT from 2006 onwards is the correct part instead.
