The final chapter of the Adjustable Seat Tracks saga has been written. In response to the request by Blas in the thread entitled
"Superformance removable seat cushion" I have enclosed some photos of the bottoms of both the drivers side and passenger side seat tracks.

Drivers side

Passenger side



The only modification to the drivers side was to cut off the right angled handle on the adjusting rod, rethread it and attaching a new adjusting handle.
On the passenger side there was a bit more to do. In the original configuration the seat is bolted to the floor with 1 1/4 inch aluminum spacers. The bolt spacing on my sourced seat tracks was a bit off and required slightly enlarging the holes in the floor with a file. Other than that, it was a fairly straight forward job of attaching the "new" seat tracks to the seat. I also cut off the original adjusting rod handle and modified it to match the drivers side.

The new tracks offered by Superformance are a completely different design and would not work if you are trying to modify them to look like "original style" seat track adjusters.

In all honesty the biggest problem was finding a set of seat tracks. Many thanks to Jeff Gagnon for searching through his stash of parts and finding a set, without his efforts this project probably would not have happened. Thanks again Jeff.
