[TR] seat tracks

[tfansher at comcast.net]

Gary, I've had some luck using nylon washers from Ace Hardware.B  I used the
size of fender washers to go between the rail and the carpet.B  I also stacked
them with more in the front and fewer in the rear to elevate the seat a
little. I think I used 3 or so in the front, two in the middle and one in the
rear- you could use more or less. I used nylon so they wouldn't rust on the
carpet.B  I had wanted a nylon "incline plane" the width of the rail but
raised in the front and lower in the back, but had no idea of where to obtain
such a beast....By raising the front of the seat some, it's a lot more
comfortable (at least for me). I've done this on both the 3's and the early
TR4....

good luck

Just put my new seat tracks in (tr-3) and tightened them down but sliding the
seat on was a chore. B I also find they don't slide back and forth very well
at
all. B I'm slightly disappointed but think over time things will get better.
Just wondering if others have had the same thing happen. B I've bolted the
tracks on the floor over the carpet.

thanks
