John,
The seat runners driver and passenger on my 1971 are identical but are
mounted differently on drivers vs. passenger side. Same for the seat mounting
as
well as there are two holes on the front seat frame. The rear mounting bolts
for the seat runner has two holes and you have to get it right, however, the
front is only one hole per side.
Driver seat runner:
The outer rear bolt on the runner should be in the front hole. The inner
rear bolt on the runner should be in the rear hole.
Driver seat mounting:
The outer bolt attaching the seat should be in the front hole. The inner
bolt attaching the seat should be in the rear hole.
Passenger runner:
The outer rear bolt on the runner should be in the front hole. The inner re
ar bolt on the runner should be in the rear hole.
Passenger seat mounting:
The outer bolt attaching the seat should be in the front hole. The inner
bolt attaching the seat should be in the rear hole.
The mis matching of the mounting holes adds enough angle to the runner and
seat to allow proper clearance for the side tilt up lever to the B-post.
Cheers! MRankin

Subject: Seat rails
A week or so ago someone noted something about how the seat rails on a TR6
are installed. The comment was something
to the effect that they should not be installed parallel, otherwise the seat
will not go back all the way. I'm in
the process of reinstalling my freshly rebuilt seats and was wondering if
you guys could elaborate on the placement of
the rails. At least in my case, the rails have multiple holes for the bolts
to go through, so I want to make sure I
bolt them down the right way.
