This Recaro sub-frame (part number 861517-1999) fits the Volkswagen New Beetle. The New Beetle used the Golf IV platform under its distinctive rounded bodywork, but the cabin dimensions and seat position are notably different from the Golf: the high floor and the exaggerated curvature of the body mean the driver sits in a different relationship to the roof and seatbelt anchor than in a standard Golf. The sub-frame uses the New Beetle’s OEM floor mounts with no drilling.

The New Beetle’s styling attracted a different buyer from the performance Golf, but the base platform is capable, and a number of New Beetles have been used for trackdays and light motorsport. The Recaro sub-frame brings a properly positioned sport seat into the car without generic mounts placing it at the wrong height. Fore-aft runners are included.

Fits Recaro base-mountable seats. Not for side-mounted competition shells without adaption hardware. One sub-frame, one seat position. Order twice for both sides and note your seat model at checkout.

#3. A full replacement frame only
#4. An adaption bracket kit

Additional seat belt brackets: Each seat frame can be used for a variety of applications including road car reclining seats throuh to Motorsport FIA seats. Seat belt brackets are not required in a range of application so manufacturers generally do not supply them with their frame kits. If you require seat belt brackets please contact us in advance

Compatible reclining seats

We strongly recommend only using the Recaro fitting kit with the correct Recaro seats.
Their frame kits are made with exact tolerances and do not match any other brands. 

Compatible bucket seats

We strongly recommend only using the Recaro fitting kit with the correct Recaro seats listed and matching Recaro side mounts only.
Their frame kits are made with exact tolerances and do not match any other brands. 

Will this fit my car?
This frame is car-specific, so match the vehicle in the product name to your exact car and generation. If you are unsure, send us the registration and we will confirm before you order.

Which seats does it take?
Check the bolt pattern in the specification against your seat. The Compatible seats tab above lists what bolts straight on. If your seat is not listed, tell us what you run and we will confirm the fit.

Do I keep fore-and-aft adjustment?
Only with a sliding runner between the frame and the seat, which is a separate part on Recaro frames. If more than one person drives the car, budget for the runner. Our guide to sliding runners explains the options and widths.

Availability

Recaro seats are produced in batches for the UK market

We receive Recaro deliveries regularly and hold good stock of the popular models, so many go out quickly.

Demand for the bucket seats is worldwide and production runs to Recaro’s own schedule, so the less common models and trims can take considerably longer. Ask us and we will tell you where a specific seat stands.

Before you order

If you need a seat for a date, ring us first. We would rather give you an honest lead time up front than have you waiting on a seat that is between production runs.
