The VAC ones aren't exactly the hardest thing in the world to replicate...

When I was fitting Recaro PP's to my old M3 I had some machined up to a drawing I did. They cost me nothing as they were a favour to my dads factory, but I wouldn't imagine them being too expensive as they're just 2 (or 4) pieces of aluminium.

I didn't have as many holes put in mine as the VAC ones.

Unfortunately no photos as I sold them soon after they were done with all the other bits

The design of the recaro is stupid, but once i take the bottom cushion off, its perfectly fine height.

im 6" by the way, and i was able to get a helmet on with the above setup.

Not sure if I follow. Are you saying that you can get a lower baseplate mount?
