Can anyone recommend some non-twisty seat runners?

My fibreglass seats are currently bolted direct to the floor with some 1 inch spacers but in reality are just too low even for my liking. I'm looking for some runners instead but I've heard that the adjustable ones that only lock one side can be a bit twist under heavy braking etc?

Any recommendations or are they all more or less the same?

If you can fin some, Metro runners work but you will need to cut a section out of the front bar. Not a massive job.

Indeed I do! I cut a small section out of the middle and Araldited a sleeve over the cutoff ends. I screwed the runners in position to a board while the glue set.

Thanks for the replies, do you happen to know what they're like for width?

I've got the ones you describe and have never noticed any movement when locked.

The sliders arent exactly free running and you need a good shove to move the seat which is only possible when sat in the seat. Maybe that helps.

I got mine from seller seatspares4u on ebay.
- £30 each and only 25mm tall, if not super light.

Main thing i think is to get runners that lock both sides rather than just one runner locking.
