Seat runner advice required

[mmarksx19]

Hi all,

Just got my new toy and starting to fiddle with it to make it just how I want it.

The car has GRP seats and they are a little too far back for me. I would like to use adjustable runners/sliders whatever they are called!

Currently, the seat is bolted to a frame through the seat base which is bolted to the floor. I'd rather not drill the floor so looking for a solution to use the existing mountings on the floor pan. I have no ability to weld or fabricate but can turn a ratchet from a socket set with some success!!!!!

The holes in the floor pan are 275mm side to side and 330mm apart longways. I think, from what ive read im better off with a twin locking system rather than single sided as its more secure.

Does anyone know of a suitable product I can install that would work with these dimensions? I've seen a lot of seat runners that state a maximum length of 310mm. Is that the plate or the amount of adjustment????

I hope there is a product out there that I can simply bolt into the existing holes and then bolt my seat to it. I look forward to your product suggestions and expertise.

One thing to think about is that seat runners will raise your seat about 1 inch.

It does not sound much but put some packing on the seat and evaluate the view through the windscreen, where is the top rail? The screen can be raised but any hood will then also need adjusting.

As someone the looks out through the top of the windscreen I am aware of it when driving. I have run out of adjustment.

 

Also what car do you have as that can change advice.

Raising the seat height wont be an issue. Currently the seat is bolted to a frame which is 20mm off the floor and the frame is bolted to cross members in the chassis that are pre drilled, hence the specific dimensions. By using  runners, the seat frame wont be used so the difference will be minimal if at all.

The car is a MEV TR1ke
