Mine worked very well, and they look very similar if not identical to those on your eBay link.

At that price, it is certainly worth getting them and making them fit. The original ones are very cheap and rust easily.

As it happens, the left seat is out of the car.

This is what it looks like attached to the seat. I used 5/16" UNF bolts to attach the frames to the floor, and over drilled the holes in the oval bobbins so the bolts slide through and are attached with Nyloc nuts and washers under the car.

The runners slide on ball bearings, so when you lift the central bar, the seat slides very easily, unlike the originals.

Note the new webbing on the seats.

HI:
I had the same problem with a 45 on my Hermes conversion.
Put in a pressure regulator set for 2 psig ..end of problem.
It was very disconcerting that smell of gas heading down the 401.

Hope it's OK to resurrect this thread, but the link to the seat runners has expired (no, really!). I see Alex is still around on here, so just wondered if he could confirm what type the runners were, and if they worked oK once back in the car. Looks like they would improve on the disintegrated originals I have

Was it similar to these? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/144623272999?epid=28047138709&itmmeta=01HXAGRZ5YWEYMQQWCX595JAWW&hash=item21ac380427:g:Tc8AAOSwJgxhg424&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8BhwJTAkcwcU8xG3XozyuUtsKR0zo5vbolFODBrrSuqSqJa%2FJQUd0KBznCIDv5r4pbpjJfdkd3xDIBaGIZ%2B4qwdnpan6f3gnDJDcjeulkyvr%2B1S4yBsrf1XQvY%2FnzujtJh9yq%2FZ8eaZy5JLoOi%2B5wRJm4Vsbvs2%2Bso%2BOPdWWiiyHdIrz3hy2i%2BGBDsz%2Fmn7hM2EJbNnSOagVXNDZPBqCaphk%2FEBXmbjdTdxpxj5hxmefZcs43VfL0z4k23IrTtqi6TN3mODAZrWj9BPqAGE8FJQET%2FfWwRUb%2FzUrsX9mwC%2B4ACQL9BOXT2lBH37ZEGkEOA%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBMjPPj0Opj

That hole under the door looks like the access tot he door hinge pin. Looking up it, does it align with the hinge bobbins in the body?

Good shout - there's a "matching" but tidier hole on the driver's side, and I can feel the bottom of the hinge through the hole.

It works with any of the transmissions for the A series engines.
