Seat slider question

[steve]

I will soon be putting some new seats in my cs and I was thinking about using my original adjustment sliders until I looked at them closer. (I have different seats in my car now the original have been stored in the garage)

I realized that the round adjustment knob is built into the seat. Has any one come up with an alternate method to use the adjustment sliders without the round knob on the seat?

If I cant use the originals then I will have to come up with a mounting/adjustment solution for my new seats.

Hi Steve

The round knob at the outboard base of the seat only adjusts the tilt angle of the seat back. Surely your new seats would have some other provision.

Seat sliding forward/back uses the lever capped in black plastic, located at the forward outboard corner of the seat base, on the body. I wouldn't expect to transfer that mechanism and would expect a replacement seat to have its own forward/back sliding mechanism.

Or am I completely misinterpreting this?

What will you replace them with?

This is the seat that is going in. Once I get them.

He does not provide forward, back and mounting adjustment. It has to either be made (Custom) or provide one. I was hoping to simplify this by using the ones I have off my originals cs seats.

The seats I currently have in there are sold (CSL Scheels) along with the mounts and adjusters.

I put Stefan's Sebring seats in my coupe a few months ago. He was great to deal with and I could not be happier with the quality of the seats. He was very good about supplying additional material so I could have my rears recovered locally and there would be no matching issue.

However, the original brackets he sent didn't fit - I think he is more used to Porsches and 2002's. Also, when adjusted, the seats end up being very high. Budget some time (and potentially money) to mess around with the fitment. Again, during the whole process including the bracket adjustment process Stefan could not have been more helpful.
