Does anyone have a good set available 73/74 ? My seats are constantly moving changing gears, even after having replaced the roller sets with the brass rollers. Maybe some one has the fix for these old seat tracks.

I had my original seats recovered with the correct material, and had new nylon rollers made for the seat runners.
But the seats are a bit of a dogs breakfast.
I bought a pair of MX5 seats for £50, with the original runners, which can be easily modified to fit over the alloy spacers.
Comfort better looks Perfect, and cheap too.

I don't know if a good set actually exists? They were never even good when new. "Garbage in - garbage out".
I gave up on them long ago and adapted a set of power seat platforms for the seats. I've gotten over the part of sitting in the car and playing with the mechanisms but they still are fun to get the seat just right for that day.
The adjustments are forward/back. Up/down. Tilt forward/tilt backwards plus a power lumbar support.
My IQ is limited so it always takes me a while to get over the joy stick scenario and actually get past the adjustments. That part of having power seats is really a pit fall.
Then I have to adjust the steering column, then pop the quick disconnect steering wheel on and off a few times, then...where was I going? Jee-ze! See?
