Default BYS lowered seat rails

Anyone know who has the best deals on the BYS dropped seat rails at the moment and how long they would take to be delivered (driver's side only)?

Cheers...

I got mine from Taka Kaira, but it looks like their site is down atm. When I ordered it it wasn't listed on their site, but they did a special delivery for me, and I got it within ten days. Most places quoted me 10-15 weeks.

I'm not sure if there is anywhere in the UK who can source these now.

If I lowered the driver's seat, herself would see over the dash to drive, . Has some one got a set they could measure/make drawings of for somebody to make copies of.? Should be easier to source and cheaper.

Theoretically, it's possible to combine the adjustable seat pan from a Prelude with the S2000 runners and seat covering & back: it's usually donr the other way, to put an S2000 seat into a 'Lude.

But it would be an awful lot of extra work to swap the runners back and the adjuster wheel would be a tad inaccessible.

Yeah, I'm looking for a bolt in solution as opposed to the hole drilling and pan bashing DIY solution. I'm 6'4" and could really uses the extra space without mangling things...

There's no easy solution; the 'Lude's seat rails are different from the S2000's and the Civic's.

But I know the seat pan/mechanisnms are the same.


Here's what I'm on about
