Seat Rail Question 200

Good morning,
I have about fifteen seats in the garage and I take the interior out of every 240 I do, but I ran out to the garage to refresh my memory before attempting to clear this up. The seat rails consist of several different sections. There are the sliders that bolt to the floor, the supports that bolt to the rails, and on the driver's seat, the height adjuster that goes between the supports and the seat frame. There is no provision for adjustment of the rails on the floor. There is only one set of studs and holes at the front of the seat platform that bridges the floor pan and since the back legs are semi-vertical, they have only one "selection". The supports are what is adjustable. They are bolted to the sliders in the adjuster rails and yes, there are two sets of holes. The fore-aft adjustment is less than an inch (slightly) and the default position from the factory is the rear-most setting. I've only found one seat in five years that was set forward. Previous owner was 4'6" tall. Dave Shannon has described a way to get full seat travel in a wagon with the back seat folded down. That involves removing the lower cushion which otherwise stops the seat from traveling all the way back. The only way to get significantly better leg room in the 2s is to relocate the seat further back with a modification. If you e-mail me at dpsam@sbcglobal.net, I'll be happy to send you info for some mods that will do this. Not a big job. I've modified a couple of cars for people over 6'.
Regards,

Dave
