Tell me

Post by fiat218 »

In this photo, I got the rail and crossmember metal piece
As you see they are together like this in the car, the rail does not sit flat,you can see it don't even reach the bottom of the center piece
How does this goImage

I think your center piece is ill-positioned.
It should not lay on the table while the rail is high above it.
If you lift the center piece, it should find its place better, don't you think ?

From snooping at other people's photos,it looks like the rails should lay over the crossmember piece and the tabs lay all flat

It looks to me that the notch in your new seat rail is cut wrong. I believe it should be a triangular notch, not rectangular.

Well I got the rails from vicks, I got the center piece from wolf steel
I really have to belive that my floor is smashed down, so nothing will sit straight, I may have to get the back section of the right side and left

I think that rail is used for later style floors that have the hump for the cat converter. At any case it does not look like the picture on their web site.

Pic from steves car with hump far right rail.
