Help needed on orig seats

I had taken a few shot of my seat rails when I re-did them a few years ago. Not sure if these will help you or not.

Together. Inside rail I believe.

Bottom of seat.

Micheal, i rebuilt my slides recently, the seat levers go next to the tunnel on both sides.

Manical is correct, I just checked mine on my 72.


Sorry

Thanks for input, and yes, I was wrong, the inside rail should have the lever. Geoshanna's picture is right, showing bottom of driver's seat (left seat).

I just took my passenger seat out due to the seat rails Not working smoothly. How do you take them apart? Thanks.

Vicramos,

Here is thread that discusses the rails and rollers a little more in depth. Seat track & roller thread. Be sure to replace the rollers in the rails. This will make a night and day difference in the seats mobility.

I built my own rollers out of bearing grade nylon rod for less than five bucks. I am still very happy with their performance. Hope this helps you out a bit.

P.S. I do not recall 100% but I believe there is a small tab in the rail that must be bent down in order to slide the rail apart (sorry but it has been almost three years since I did this mod). My rollers were so flat on one side that I had to use a vise and a rubber mallet to get them apart. My car is not with me or I would go look.

Thanks for the response. I am searching the web for custom order nylon rods!! The ones from one of the vendors were $85! I think I read somewhere the roller was .95".

Vicramos,

The dimensions I found are the following:

OD .950
Width .620

I purchased my nylon rod stock from Grainger.com and cut it down to the appropriate width. I think I still have the left over length floating around at my shop. I can look for it's part number when I get back to town if you want. I think I may have gone with the "1" diameter because of not finding .950 in the appropriate temp/grade.

Also, I remember looking at Grainger's brass rod stock since some vendors sell "brass rollers" but I ended up going with the nylon due to the $5 price in case it did not work.

Good luck and let me know if you need any further info.

DELRIN is stronger than Nylon.

I second that motion. I've been a Tool & Die maker for 30 years, and we use Delrin a lot in Aerospace. Delrin also mas lubricating properties

Thanks for the Delrin suggestion. I ordered it off Amazon as the shipping was cheaper.
