Fyi

Just a thought along with the others mentioned. I also didn't want
to cut or damage my seat frame/floor rails, so I had a friend make
or bend a bottom "<-->" upside down C shaped rail / slider about
same length as the original bottom "seat rail". I then checked out
height I wanted and where I wanted my seat (pair Japanese seats)
before fabricating some vertical channel steel to which I welded the
complete slider unit from my new seats. Hopefully the verbal picture
is explanatory so far.

Now since I used new sliders/seat rails and in order to complete the
install I needed to "anchor" the new seat rails to the floor rails (since
I didn't need any adjustments; they were part of my new seats). So
I did a little modification (incidential and not seen); I drilled a 1/4" hole
on each rail, through my fab rails and through floor rail (only) inserted
a quality bolt/nut to keep each of the rails from moving; and gives the
ablility to "set" new seat frame in place where you want it. That's it !
Looks good, functional and solid. Hopefully this will help someone.
