Our Universal Seat Slider Kit is the perfect upgrade to convert a fixed seating position in an older hot rod to an adjustable one to give the perfect seating position for driving enjoyment. Custom projects and DIY fabricated seat mounting frames can also benefit from using our Universal Seat Slider Kit to allow easier access to the rear seat, better driving position, and more.
We do NOT include hardware to mount our seat sliders to your floor/seat mount or to your aftermarket bucket seats. The studs are 5/16-18 thread and one inch long, so you will need to pick up some 5/16-18 hardware (we recommend lock nuts or nuts/lock washer combination). The sliders provide a square hole at each end to accept a carriage bolt to secure a seat mounting bracket/flange (NOT INCLUDED) or to be inserted directly into the seat bottom if designed to do so.
To clear the lock mechanism and prevent binding we suggest a 1/2-inch-tall steel or aluminum spacer (NOT INCLUDED) for clearance between the seat and sliders. This provides a 2-inch overall height to the assembly, something to factor in with your floor mount and seat base height to determine your final seat height. Alternatively, our may be your best option, as it includes everything to fabricate a custom seat mounting solution, so be sure to check that kit out as well. Whichever way you decide to mount these, adding a set of our Universal seat sliders will make the ride much more enjoyable!
Our Universal Seat Slider Kit features a pair of ball-bearing supported seat sliders with pull wire assembly. These universal seat sliders allow up to 7 inches of seat movement to give you that Goldilocks feeling of sitting just right; not too close, or not too far from the steering wheel and pedals. Seat sliders are the perfect upgrade for easier rear seat access as well. The adjustable seat sliders feature individual locks for each side controlled by a single hand lever, making seat adjustments quick and easy without that “seat wiggle” a single locking seat sider can cause.
Our Universal Seat Slider Kit is designed to be a direct fit with our but obviously can be used in any manner of custom fabricated seating configurations. The center-to-center distance on the mounting studs is 12 inches with the pull wire at its stock length, but the pull wire can be modified to bring the tracks closer or further apart as needed for your individual application.

Summary: I plan on using the seat sliders for my 1933 hot rod replica build and they will be used in combination with some custom angle iron brackets that will provide a recline to the seats. I have used these before for a MKII factory five cobra roadster build and they worked perfectly. Good item and best price around.
Yes, I recommend this product.
Summary: I have a 1973 Fiat 850 Spider and the seat rails are nothing but metal against metal, it was cheap back then. The seats are somewhat adjustable but only after a lot of coaxing and X&X#$. These rails are a welcomed addition and now the seat is easily adjusted without fighting it. Bought a single set just to try it first and the results are better than expected have to order a second set for the other seat now.

Summary: Haven't actually got them in place yet but all set up. Simple , compact, clean lines.

Summary: There are no seat tracks to be found made to fit a 60-65 Falcon/Comet. I believe the seat brackets can be modified to make these work easily enough. If it works out, i will let others know in the Falcon and Comet forums on facebook.

Summary: Used these to make my own sliders in my side x side had to weld a couple inches to them for mounting to chassis. turned out great, seats slide very easily and no rattling around. Solid mounts.
