[Shop-talk] seat slide/locking mount

[eric at megageek.com]

I need to install a new seat on my tractor.  Here is the problem, the seat 
needs to be removal (toolless) so I can get to common items under it.  The 
seat sits on a metal plate that swings up, and the plates can't lift up if 
there is a seat on it.

So, I was thinking something like a car seat track to move the seat 
forward or back without a lock so it can slide off the rail.

BUT, there is a problem with that, as I can't move the seat more than an 
inch or two forward or backwards.

So I need a mounting method where I can place the seat down, slide it back 
less than 3 inches and have it lock in place.  Then a quick release that 
will allow me to unlock and slide it forward to remove it.

I can't figure out what to be looking up to find such a mounting system.

I already have the seat, so I just need this system.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
