1) I wanted to use the
seat runners from the Honda because of the peculiar mounting position on the new seats,
the ease with which they could be adjusted and the improvements in design. Again, after 20
years or more the Z seat runners were not working very well. I removed the Honda runners
from the seats and cut the right runner (hacksaw) just in front of the right rear bolt
bracket. This shortens the right runner, which is too long for the floorboard of the car
and also removes the bolt bracket which hits the transmission tunnel. The right runner is
notched along its length and a small bolt must be inserted in the notch closest to the cut
to keep the runner from sliding too far and falling off of its track.Once this is done,
the runners can be re-mounted on the seats. I did most of the work with the brackets on
the seats so that the corrects spacing and orientation would be maintained during
fabrication.
