I have a set of Scheel seat that I’m contemplating on installing. I’m wondering as I’ve heard the rails are very hard to find. I need to get the seats out storage but thought I’d check here first as to if it’s possible to use the 914 rail or would I need to adopt? Thanks!

I have a pair of Sheel/Mann seats.
AFAIK the rails are standard 914 parts. One of my seats slides easily. The other does not. I believe care must be taken that the rails are both parallel and on the same plane. I'll know better in a few days. Attached thumbnail(s)

I believe care must be taken that the rails are both parallel and on the same plane. I'll know better in a few days. Update on Scheel corduroy inserts. I've had these Scheel Mann seats for many years. I was very disappointed with their appearance when it came time to install them. I took them to a upholstery shop my wife had used for a pair of chairs. They said the original material was very sturdy and could be re-stretched nicely. I'm very happy with the results. Check the 'before' shots in post # 4 Now for the Scheel/Mann logo emblems. Attached thumbnail(s)
