Seat runners doing my head in!!
shortie - 13/5/05 at 02:47 PM

Can anyone help please!!

I have the MK grp seats and have bought universal OMP runners from Demon Tweeks as recomended.

When I come to fit the runner to the seat the holes in the top bar of the runner that is supposed to fix to the seat don't match up with the holes in the seat!!

Mk say that the runners should fit but unless I am missing something then there is no way they will fit the seat!

I have attached a pic that may help my explanation.

Any help or ideas much appreciated.

Thanks Ned,

Did yours fit ok?? if so where did you get them??

ta,
Rich.

um, fozzie got them for me, they are the same as fozzie is using on the cubs and they did come from demon twats aswell.

thinking about it (it was a while back) they may have had to be drilled anyway, but i can't really remember! not much use really, sorry!

i did have to pack them out with washers though because the bulge on the underside of the grp wasn't giving me any clearance..

Ned, mate.....we need to talk!

Rich, I did get them from Demons, I have had a look in both the blue and red books and can't find them. They were Cobra to suit Cobra-Cub seats, although they actually are COBRA universal. The cost was around £17 ex VAT and post (last year). If I get no joy going through my records, I shall make a phone call!on Monday
Ned is right, they do have to suitably packed with washers to suit ya seat if they are GRP.

My mate got a pair off a Daihatsu van down the scrapyard and they look easily adaptable to fit any of the seats I've seen. They charged him a fiver for them.
Sounds like you're for it Ned .

big thanks Ned, they look like just what I need, mine are the type with the full bar at the front so I reckon I just need to get your type and I'll be away!

Just hope Fozz can find out where she got them!

thanks,
Rich.

Metro seat runners locally scrappy £5


These fit the BabyCub seats for MWS all you have to do is cut the adjuster and make it narrower
