which seat runner?
franky - 7/1/11 at 10:36 AM

whats the best seat runner to go for? I'm looking for a really low profile one.

Has anyone got any suggestions?

Early Metro Or Land Rover ones seem a popular choice

The Metro ones were a direct fit to my cheapo Baby Mamba seats

I've seen the above but i'm worried that as it only locks on one side it might twist?

Merlin do some which are locked on both sides. More expensive than the fleabay ones
but work for me. Merlin
HTH.

Cant look at the above or get onto ebay, but i got a pair for there seller 'Seatspares4u' if i recall and they worked well for me.

The units are 25*30mm or something like that, with a u-shaped intercontecting bar, lock both sides.

I emailed him and he had a range of widths, and each one can be tweeked anyway, worked a treat.

They must be 5kg a pair atleast but its nice to be able to move the seats and they would have needed some so sort of spacer anyway.

i'm only after one but ideally <20mm

Does it need to slide?? Mine's fixed on 20mm rubber bushes.

I'd like it to for when mates/wife drive the car.

ive got a metro one you can have if you want to pop by. Ive cut the handle to adjust the width as it locks both sides.

I would recommend going down the scrappy and finding a nearly new Citroen, C2 or 3. Take a 12~13 mm spanner and remove the runners.

This is what I did and the only mod is to adjust the bar across the front to suit the width you need. Simples

Cheers How much does it raise the seat height by?

Don't quote me but I think it raised mine at about 25mm

big_wasa - 8/1/11 at 04:16 PM

Yeh 20~25mm sounds about it.
