Hi Alex,
I rebuilt my seat runners last week.....took about 3 hours total.
1) punched out the split pin
2) removed ball bearings;
3) drilled out existing studs
4) Taped the existing holes just drilled;
5) screwed in all thread at the desired length (I put longer all thread in
to allow the seats to recline a bit);
6) spot weld the backside of the all thread to stop it from moving.
7) reinstall.
Works great and allows you to change the cant/recline of the seat.

Subject: [Healeys] Reproduction seat runners
I'd be interested to know of people's experience with reproductin seat
runers.
Are they all the same ? Are they good quality or rubbish ? Are they good
value at about $100 per seat ?
I have the capacity to rebuild the existing ones by welding in new studs,
re-plating and re-assembling with new bearing balls but that's a lot of work
and extra time off the road compared to fitting replacements.
