I got all 4 pistons back in the L20. All bearing clearances with new bearings were about .0018.

I've been working on the upper part of the seat, it's been difficult. I bought some 1/4 foam to pad the tired old foam. I am hoping this will help remove the small wrinkles on the side bolsters. That and I'm a student with a full time job.. progress is happening but it's slow.

I don't mind it too much. Recaro can't get me the parts.. they could stay that way. But my preference would be to have the head rests on.
