MG MG Y Type - Seat floor runners for MG Y/YT/YB

Many people have bemoaned the fact that their floor mounted seat runners (for driver and passenger seats Y and YB and driver seat for YT) have either cracked, split, broken or are simply missing from their cars and so they are not able to adjust their seats backwards and forwards and lock them in place or even easily remove them. Quite simply they have not been available from any MG parts supplier and no one has been prepared to make up the tooling to make them before now.

Well … I have decided to change that and YZ Publications has now had the tooling made and these will soon be available again. At this time I do not have a final supplied cost price so what I am looking for please is expressions of interest.

These will be available individually. A full Y/YB set therefore will be 4, and YT2.

Please respond below if you are interested in obtaining any (and indicate how many). I won’t hold you to a final request but I am trying to assess how many to make in the first batch. The cost will however I am sure be reasonable. Shipping will always be a variable but then that will only be at market cost.

If you have already replied on either of the Facebook postings of this note I will pick up your expressions of interest there.

Thank you and happY MotorinG.

Paul,

What finish will your runners have? Bright chrome on steel as orig? Polished stainless steel? Pls advise.

On a totally different subject:

Issue 116 Oct 2024 of The North American Classic MG Magazine's cover photo is of Daman Thakore's YT EXR 4669 in Cappadocia, Turkey enroute on its 73-day, 13,500 km journey through 14 countries from India to the UK. Included is a seven page article and photos of the trip. Perhaps Daman will allow you to post the article on your website.

Hi Rocky

1) As original probably. Havent given that a thought but will now :)

2) Yes - this will be a Reprinted Article in time. I cannot and will not publish reprints that would adversely affect potential circulation of the original club or magazine for obvious reasons.

Cheers

Update on Seat runners:-

Unfortunately there has been a production delay in the availability of seat runners as resources have been concentrated on our other planned new product at YZ Publications Inc. which will be new headlamp brackets.

Sorry for any delay but we will keep you updated on production processes and prices soon, hopefully in Q1 2025.

Regards

All the seat runners I have had from cars were zinc plated. No sign of chrome on them.

Same with mine Keith, a 1950 car with zinc plated runners.
