Im not sure if they are available anymore, but they pop up on ebay, Ł30 seems the norm.

I know someone who used an industrial gravel bag to repair his, worked VERY well actually..........

Ive seen all sorts of things done to recaros in an attempt to fix it, but what they did actually worked

Im sure you'll find one somewhere, hope you got deep pockets though
