Cheers Jim Update to this one, the runners are too short! The way the seats are mounted is on a pair of L brackets, photo attached. These brackets act in place of the legs that would normally be on the runners. They're drilled right next to the 'hump' that the seat floor would just scrape
What I'm thinking of doing is cutting the bottom ones down by one hole so I can get the smaller length I need to mount the runners, that would give me 2 holes on the bottom and 3 at the top. Is that a really bad idea or will I be OK? The ones that come off are mounted into the seat so cant be re-used (Rover seats, per this thread from ages ago https://groups.google.com/d/msg/quantumowners/6uku9bihzRs/SURuec5n9qYJ Andy On Wednesday, 26 February 2014 08:53:36 UTC, Jim Hearne wrote: > > Once you remove the brackets the Mk2 and Mk3 runners are pretty much > the same. > > Don’t forget to use big (at least 2” dia) and thick (2mm) washers under > the floor on the bolts. > An ordinary sized washer could pull through the floor in an accident. > > Jim > > > *From:* Jamest142 <javascript:> > *Sent:* Saturday, February 22, 2014 11:19 AM > *To:* quantu...@googlegroups..com <javascript:> > *Subject:* [Quantum Owners] Re: Mk2 seat runners / 2+2 > > > Hiya > > Dug out my build manual - not much info, but it states as follows :- > > 6.15.7 Front Seats.
