Original RS Lightweight seats

[andyjboy]

I bought a pair of RS Lightweight seats which, according to the seller, came out of a 3.0RS & have been in (dry) storage for many years.

I don't know whether these seats are originals which have been in storage since they were relatively new, or whether they are very accurate replicas (as made by Roman Marquardt of RSL in Germany) but they're in excellent condition (apart from one which has a couple of very small holes in the fabric upholstery where a mouse has chewed it!).

However, they came without runners/sliders - did the original RS Lightweight seats us runners which were unique to them or did they utilise some 'off the shelf' versions ?

Thanks Bob & Nick for the pictures.

I'm hoping one of the RS guys (GeorgeK, fryardds, Rick Cabell, Roger Grago, Robert Gross, etc) will chime in here. I need to know whether the correct sliders/rails are unique to the RS LWT seats or whether they're 'std' versions used elsewhere too - the 911 sliders from the standard early 911 seats don't match up.

GeorgeK will be staying with me next week end, abd coming up to Husborne Crawley on the Saturday, so if you are going ask him yourself.

The sliders (silver in the above pictures) are correct. The frame on which they are I can't tell, as I did not get it with the seat (which btw was removed from a '73 RS).
Sorry, I wish I knew more, but I haven't seen my RS in 10 months, so it's a little fuzzy in my mind.
