<< still have no good solution to dealing
 with 4 spacers, two wooden rails, two runners and attendant hardware plus
 a heavy seat, none of which are connected until the bolts are in ergo -
 none of which will stay lined up.... blah blah blah.............. sorry,
 lost it there - seriously, if anyone does have a procedure they have
 found easy for this job i would love to hear it. >>

  Actually, I've found the best way to put the whole bunch back together is;

 1. Take about 1 hour beforehand to sit at the workbench and contemplate your
navel through a beer bottle. As it is impossible to see you navel with a full
bottle, it is neccessary to empty the bottle first. Pour contents into oral
orifice.  Repeat with full bottles until you locate a "Fuzzy Navel".

 2. At this point the seat assembly will seemingly fall into place, all bolts
will line up and all will work well. 

  The above procedure is especially helpful if you car's original interior
was installed right after the lunch break at the works.  The interior dept.
usually had a couple of pints at the local and were in a similar condition at
the time.

  Whether or not the above actually decreases the amount of time needed is
open to debate. However, by the time you get to the "Fuzzy Navel" stage, you
really don't care!!!!!!
