Just trying to think of someway to be able to move the seat forward and back easily
There is not enough room for runners (i.e. the seat cannot be lifted any higher)
Is there some kind of quick release bolt i could use?
Long shot it think
Thanks again
Rupert
cut slots in the floor so you just slacken the bolts, slid it down the slot and then tighten them back up?

the seat sits directly on the chassis rails. I guess cutting slots in these would be a bad idea?
i wouldn't be happy with having my seat bolts in slots anyway
Possible to fit/bodge something along the lines of this?
hmmm.
I like it.
Thanks
You could drill several sets of holes, then fix the seats by bolting up from underneath using bicycle-type quick release bolts, like this
That would probably be quicker to change than spannering?
Why not drill several sets of mounting holes and then secure the seats with pins and R clips using spring washers to take out any slack?
That way you wouldn't even need any tools to adjust it - say at the side of the road when swapping drivers.

Are you sure that you can't go any higher at all? My seat runners are less than an inch high.
really! Well i will give it a check. Who makes those?
Thanks
These wont withstand the forces experienced in the event of an impact or rollover.
You need to use 8.8 bolts or better. They hold your ass in the car at all times!
Personally, i wouldnt want anything"Quick release" for seats as this would generally sacrifice an element of safety. If the seat is fixed
to your position, then so be it. Adjustable pedals might be easier / safer?

If you had your seat mounts set up in double shear pip pins would do the trick.
