I upgraded my SA to FB (detached headrest) seats when I found some good cores in the junkyard & reulpholstered them.

The rails are not exactly the same, but the bolt hole pattern on the floor is, so you had to swap the rails with the seats.

I think I may still have my SA rails in the garage, but I think they were pretty worn out. Sloppy.

i modfied the stock rail, works like a charm. a peice of 1/8" by 1 1/4 strap at the front, and two 1/8" peices for the rear.
