Hi All,
I have a few questions about seats / seat bases / seat brackets and rails...
I am restoring a Series II - which came with the (I believe) the optional seat adjuster rails. They look like this:

My first question is - can I install these on the passenger side (these came off the drivers side) ?
As my car was in bits (and my other Series didn't have any seat adjusters) I have worked out that the seat base sits in this:

And that this bracket bolts to the seat adjuster.
The good news is that the seat bases sit very firmly in this bracket/base. which is fantastic because on my other Series II - the seat bases simply sit on top of the seat box and move around a bit..
My second question is - when you install this rail adjustment (combined with the seat base bracket) - I believe that means that you do NOT install the traditional rails:

Is that correct?
So my plan is:
Drivers Side - seat adjuster, base bracket with seat base sitting in it.
Passenger Side - seat adjuster, base bracket with seat base sitting in it.
And leave the traditional rails off.
And leave the middle seat out.
Am I on the right track?
I have a workshop manual and unfortunately the seat adjusters aren't in it. I also have the CD from here and I couldn't find them in there either!
Last question - I don't suppose that anybody has any spare seat adjustment rails for sale? :wasntme:
