AarhusTr6 Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 I am presently cleaning up and restoring my seat runners but have got a bit stuck on one thing. Please take a look at my photograph and you will see that the small rollers have little studs which allows the roller to move approximately nine centimetres. however if you look at the latch holes that is much greater than 9 cm so how does this work? logic to me on this side it can only move a maximum of 9 cm but on the one opposite slider I can move it much further??

ed_h Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 So It's 9 cm between the two roller stops? This would limit the ROLLER travel to 9 cm, but the top track's travel would be more. I`m thinking twice as much without drawing it. Ed Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So my logic is 9cm of travel BUT the other slider allows further. I am a bit confused today! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I put it down to the production processes back in the '60's. Dedicated components weren't made RH & LH to suit the final installation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ed_h Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 If a roller gets shifted, it can limit travel on that side. Ed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
