Probably not as I would have to be IN the inner circle to get a response.

I'm on an elliptical course so I pass through most circles - whether I'm needed, noticed or not.
P.S. Sorry, no seat tracks here neither.

Re: WTB Seat Tracks
I am going to post a very basic question and see how long it takes to get answered to prove my point.
Re: WTB Seat Tracks
New kid:
Thought to mention this: 4 seat rails is not gonna be enough to make manual e24 seats. You also gonna need seat bottom frame.
I have manual sport seats in my euro e28 and had to fix restore drivers seat. When i pulled it apart I was able to compare to e30 sport seat bottom frame. Unfortunatelly they dont interchange, so i had to fix mine.
Good luck finding parts.

You will certainly be proving something but I don't think it will be your "point".new kid wrote:I am going to post a very basic question and see how long it takes to get answered to prove my point.

Re: WTB Seat Tracks
I bought a set of seats years back from a salvage yard and at the time did not notice they did not come with seat belt receptacles or rails. I have seat belt receptacles but no rails. Took the rails from one of my other cars down to a machine shop to see what my option are on making them.vilkas wrote:New kid:

Re: WTB Seat Tracks
If you have e30 sport seats, you gonna have to modify 2 legs in the front (e28 uses smaller diameter pins) to fit e28sport rails. Iirc rear mounting part is also different.new kid wrote:I bought a set of seats years back from a salvage yard and at the time did not notice they did not come with seat belt receptacles or rails.

You could also find manual e30 rails (theyre cheap) and just run adapters. I remember someone was making them to fit e24/28.
Re: WTB Seat Tracks
Your pictures also show the difference in pre 9/85 and post 9/85. The e30 one you show is post and the e28 is pre.
Pre use the same pin, 52101906746, on e30,e24,e23
Post use the same pin, 52101919478, on e30,e28,e24,e23
Pre use the same pin, 52101906746, on e30,e24,e23
Post use the same pin, 52101919478, on e30,e28,e24,e23
Re: WTB Seat Tracks
Making them is out as I can buy another set of seats for what the machine shop quoted.
Re: WTB Seat Tracks
I just learned that there was pre and post 85 sport seats. Makes sense now.

They hold hands in the circle to channel the spirits of the past E24 owners so they can get questions that have been asked a million times answered
