I needed to replace my rollers on my seat tracks so I decided to give one of our suppliers some money for what I thought was going to be a superior product than the original wheels. If you never looked at them the original rollers are a hard round rubber compound sandwiched between to side disc's and pressed together onto a solid dowel. The side disc's allowed for about 1/4" of rubber to be exposed and eventually flatten out so they slid rather than rolled.
So for $80 what do you get?
A solid brass (?) dowel was cut into 8 pieces and maybe slightly beveled at the edges. Thats it.
I was expecting something a little more complicated or maybe a piece of rubber someplace, maybe a roller barring or something but the darn thing wasn't even the same diameter as the original "wheels". Maybe these were the optional "lower your seat" model. They work, I even thought about doing something similar since I'm the only driver and the seats only get moved to get to the front of the motor. I learned something on this one.
