Default Looking for seat rails

I've got a 1995 Contemporary build and it has fixed seats right now but since I'm a short guy instead of just relocating the seat and permanently affixing it I would like to put it on some low profile rails... anybody know where to get a correct set or do you have some you want to unload?

Thanks

I have a set from my CSX4000 that will need a little fabrication to work. Nothing too difficult. These will fit original-style seats. PM me if you're interested.

Thanks ccx1984. Took a look at those and as soon as I pull the seat this weekend I'm gonna figure out if those are what I'm after.

Did Contemporaries come with a set of sliders or was it an option?

The first thing I did when I purchased my Contemporary was to remove my driver's side seat adjuster so I could move my seat down, all the way back and to the right. I guess I'm a little taller than you. I still have the passenger side installed and presume they were standard Contemporary items. I'd trade you for a pair of original sun visors. Rich

Early Honda Civic rails are very good units. Check your local "recycler".

Thanks guys. There are some good options here. Sorry badrich I don't have visors to trade, Rick 427 Cobra - I'll look into the Civic rails but ccx1984 has come up with a viable alternative that looks like what I'm after and I'm probably gonna go that route.
Thanks again,
Black Mamba
