Spikehaus used the sierra runners, needed a bit of fettling.

Its amazing what you can do with a few hours work, a drill and some flap disks. The secret to stripping them is grinding back the surface to expose the spot welds, drill them out and then lever of the sundry bits. A coat of paint and you have some nice runners. I cheated, I strapped them down on the Bridgeport table and milled the top of. It vibrated a bit!

That looks good Spikehaus - any details of what you actually did? My seats are still in the workshop - ideal for sitting back with a cup of tea and biscuit and admiring the days work

The basic runner assembly is quite simple, but the drivers seat has lots of extra parts welded on for height adjustment, seatbelt anchoring points and seat mountings. I simply just cut off everything that was welded to the rails. I should have taken photos of all the bits removed. Guess I to busy cutting to remember.
