WTB : Scheel Seat handle Cover?

[loloe13]

Hi all!

Would anyone know where I can source this little rubber handle?
This plastic handle goes over that lever at the back of the seat, for lifting the Scheel seats for better rear seat access.
I don't think they are BMW parts so I could not find them listed on RealOEM at all.

I am after 2x of these if available, or can someone point me to the right supplier?

Thanks in advance!
Gavin

yep,

Gerrit can help you with all things Scheel and he's a great guy.

 

[loloe13]

no luck yet..

Gerrit replied. He doesn't have any in stock at the moment, but he will let me know if he finds them.
Meanwhile, my search continues......

Richard: were the lifting rails also made by Scheel back then or BMW?

Sorry to hear that he's out of stock. As far as the rails, I've assumed that they were a Scheel item but honestly, I don't know.

Do you need some rail parts?

 

[loloe13]

just trying to work out who actually made those handle covers, then maybe try a different way to search for one on the net. :-?

the question is ... is Gerrit permanently out? or just out for the foreseeable future?

 

[loloe13]

I hope he does not mind that I reprint his reply :

" I am out of those at the moment, but will let you know when I get some more. They were also mounted on the recliner levers of the half bucket Scheel seats "

I hope its more just the foreseeable future.....
Anyone knows what the 'half bucket Scheel seats' look like? more in 911s?

When I saw your first photo, I thought that the lever looked familiar - and Gerrit's reply confirms it. It appears to be the same as the back release lever on the Scheels more commonly found in 2002s. There was a set on sale a while ago and I downloaded the photo (below, left). They are not the same cover as the ones found on other reclining mechanisms which have a tread textured finger indent (below, right) - these are the ones you'll find more commonly in 911s and E9s - like mine. But, I don't know how helpful this is because they are in high demand among the 2002 (and euro Ford) crowd and don't come up for sale often and I have not seen the parts listed separately on those either.

Thankyou! Its good to get more info for it.
I found this eBay listing with the 2002 Scheel seat that you described, yep, got the lever that I want on it....
but not sure about paying for the whole seat just for the lever cover.... :roll:

I will keep looking and hope that Gerrit can get back to me soon.

Usually, I hardly have to lift the seats up as rear passengers are rare, and I even cannot really see the little lever unless you look for it, yet having one missing just bothers me so much...
