Default Does anyone recognise these seat runners?

I've managed to get myself some baby cub seats for the grand total of £25, and I'll be picking them up next week along with my wishbones, rear uprights, polybushes and camber adjusters (its been an expensive week for me ). These are the seats I'll be getting:



The seller sent me the following pictures of the runners as he wasn't sure what car they were from. Each seat has a different set of runners which is a bit strange but for £25 I'm not complaining. So can anyone tell me which runners these seats have?

Tatey,

Don’t know about the runners but if you are planning to IVA the car you will require a head rest of some sort, I have seen cars with those seats with the head rest attached to the roll bar.

Cheers for that Ginge, After finding the seats I had a look through the IVA manual and it says if the seats are adjustable (back and forth) then the headrest needs to be attached to the seat so that it will move with the seat. Otherwise it can be attached to the rollbar.

My plan is to fab up a system to attach the headrest to the seat, as I know i'll be wanting adjustable seats so that other people can drive the car.

Tatey,

I am glad you knew about the head rests, I thought I was the bearer of bad news.

Now back to the seat runners

Cheers Ginge

I may be wrong but one looks like it's off a mini and one looks like it's off an escort ?

Don't think its a mini, (just had a look at mine) can't see how the rear parts would sit. (mine just stand on the floor at the rear)
