MG MG Y Type - YA/YB/YT Seat Runners

I am contemplating placing an order for a once off run of Seat Runners for YA/YB/YT. The Seat Runners will be Laser Cut, Pressed and finally Zinc Coated. The new seat runners will be improved upon the original in that they will be slightly longer, enabling the two ends to have additional metal; this will result in the new product being stronger than the original

I have identified a potential supplier, but as with all bespoke parts tooling will be required for the pressing, and there is a minimum charge for laser cutting. Therefore the more units manufactured in the initial run will reduce the overall cost.

If anybody is interested please email me and indicate interest (driver seat, passenger seat or both). Once I have some indication of interest I should be able to provide some accurate costings and anticipated delivery.

Regards.

Hi Dave.
Yes I am interested in 2 sets for both seats.

I regret that although this thread has been running for three months that there has been insufficient interest and as a consequence I will not be proceeding with this venture.

The key factor was the cost of 'Laser Cutting' the rails and a minimum order was needed to make the project viable. I would like to thank all those who expressed an interest and perhaps one day we can revisit this.

With thanks.

The sentiment is appreciated...location of the front seats is very important and it is SO easy to have the seat in an unsafe condition with worn bolts or elongated or fractured seat runners. I have often thought of an extra feature to hold the seat down in a crash as the seat coming lose would make any seat belts etc if fitted useless. I have toyed with the idea of U channels going over the bottom of the seat frame one front and one aft and fixed to brackets welded to the chassis.

David,

I too am interested. I would like both a drivers side and passenger side for a Right hand drive car.

Hi All

It appears that this venture may be revisted sooner than I thought. If there are other interested parties please let me know.

Dear Friends, first of all please let me apologize for my bad English, which is not my mother language. I am writing on behalf of my brother in law, which recently bought a nice MG Y A 1950. Unfortunately the cover of the driver's seat is missing. We ask your help for buying a dark red cover, or even a complete seat. Also other suggestions will be appreciated. To whom should we address? Thank you very much for your attention.

I know of a seat that is/was for sale in Holland in reasonable condition red with white piping. Would that be of any use?
