Anybody have experiance with aftermarket seat tracks? I put them in my 66 today and only have about 2 inches of travel.They work very stiff also,Im not happy with them yet. Im gonna try to tweak them some and see if I can get them to loosen up.Is there a stop that has to be removed or what?

Nice to know none of you guys have tried these.

I've never seen the reproductions, but they should have a lot more than 2" of travel and should move pretty freely.

What vendor did you buy them from? I'd give them a call.

They are kind of tight
A bit of white grease will help
ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE that the tracks are parrallel and on the same plane.
They would need to be somewhat tight as the locking mechanism is ONLY on the outside track

Thank You.I got my Grease and kinda packed the bearings,then I slid the track all the way back,only 1,2 inches,then I taped on them,back and forth, till I got the travel I needed. I think the stops were in too far.They are fine now.
