First the problem...removing old seat rails.
The tools required spot weld removal tool (14 dollars at NAPA), 1/8 drill bit, and wire brush.
Clean off paint, rust, and or dirt to clearly expose spot welds......note the guy who welded mine was drinking to much vino!
Next use the 1/8 inch bit to drill shallow pilot holes....note you may go all the way thru the floor....oops but easily patched.
Then use the removal bit, the center is a spring loaded guide that goes in pilot hole, note extension used to get bit close.
Then slowly increase drill speed as you press down. Again it is easy to cut completely through, try to only cut rail bracket.
After you get all the spots cut you will still probably have to apply a little (or a lot) of encouragement with a B.F. Hammer to knock it off. Note the amount of pitting I found under the rails, in my first posts several years ago you will see that my car was very rust free. I think the rails let a lot of water collect with no where to go....bummer. Most of the round circles are the remains of the rail you can grind them off or leave them. You can also see that I punctured the floor boards several times with the drill bit and removal tool I will use some POR 15 putty to fill these holes.
I hope this helps someone I will post the new rail fabrication as it goes.
