Hi Guys,

I had a mouse nesting under my Chims passenger seat (It may well be the world rodent land speed record holder). anyway mouse piss has rusted one of the runners solid. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement or where the part comes from (Ford? Vauxhall?) Or if there's an OEM universal replacement?

BTW - Yes I have 2 cats - lazy B*****ds!!

All help greatfully received.

I would be interested too as, other than when on its fully back setting - which I am happy with anyway, the seat clicks a bit when braking so I think the drivers side needs replacing.

The ball bearings fell out on the runners on both sides on my Tuscan.

TVR Power stock them - pretty sure they are compatible with everything from the Griff/Chimaera onwards.

GR, as far as I could see the ball 'spaced' the upper and lower tracks.

The fact that I found said ball rolling around foot-well carpet lead me to believe the runners were fubar'd. I don't believe it's just a case of popping new balls into the track...as whatever was holding the ball...now wasn't!

Therefore you have to bite the bullet and order new runners complete.
