C3 seat rails

(1/2) > >>

77CVT:
Are there different lengths of seat rails between early and late C3's?

The rails for my 71 don't line up with the factory holes.  :p

gtc:
Chromie may be able to help with that question.

77CVT:
I think I can modify the ones I have.

I measured a 69 and the holes were 41cm apart - mine are 51cm.

I have a feeling they changed mid 70's.

Hi 77CVT;ay
I know for sure that 1968-76 have the same bolt pattern
I am reasonably sure that 1977-82 are also the same
GM wasn't known for always changing things between models
Measure your bolt pattern on your floor and post it so we have something tangeable to check with on other Corvettes for you.;27

77CVT:
Yeah, not sure what's the go with these rails.  The bolt holes in my floor are the same disatance etc as the 69 I measured, but the rails were different between the two cars, mine being 4 inches longer (at the rear I think).

The seats I have are the ones with the lap sash through the slot in the seat  so I think they are right for the year.

If I can't improvise I'll just get new rails!  I think a few people have had a chop at this car.  ;-)
