Josef Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 (edited) Seems my Mk2 GT6 came short a pair of seat tracks / rails / runners. One, two, or any leads on finding some would be much appreciated!

Dick Twitchen Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 Try Spitbitz; although they do not list them specifically it is the sort of place that they may have them lying around or would remove.

I found that out when replacing the floorpans on my GT6 MK1, the pre-drilled holes and captive nuts were way off as they had been pressed for the later cars.

Josef Posted May 23 Author Report Share Posted May 23 Yeah, the squaretail runners are also too wide for the brackets on the actual seats (makes sense given, as Colin says, they're wider overall). I think, worst case, I could cannabalise some later runners and make my own.But finding the real ones would be easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Truman Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 (edited) Interesting any pic's yet? The daughters Mk2 Spit leaves me tomorrow for a 400klm drive to her new home, been giving it it's final checkup and lube incl trunnions. Been going thro the spares for her to take ie spare g/b, diff, J o/d, drive shafts (wish I knew which was RH & LH), rebuilt rear hubs with backplates, vgc windscreen frame, etc. I have a rebuilt 1500 engine, which I might sell as she's not interestedas we really want a Spit Mk3 1300 engine, but the're hens teeth here? I know where there's a couple of 1147 engine 8 port heads, but he won't sell yet my mate keeps me informed, I think it's a case of who out lives who! I'll keep the spare chassis and other full set of suspension, 6 potter 2 lt engine (all new internals), Dolly 1850 single rail gearbox & J type o/d in case i get bored!! Ha!

I never knew either until I came to fit my early seats onto the late floor pans! It's easily amended though, and only the MOT man will ever see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
