WANTED -RS2000 SEAT RAILS AND SEATS
I have started restoring 1980 4dr rs 2000
Does anyone know where I might be able to get seat rails and possibly seats.
Previous owner changed the set up and I want to get it back to original.
Thanks Mark

Hey there Mark, seat rails should be the same as the ghia, although these are getting hard to find as well but may be worth a try........
Cheers Drew......

Thanks Drew
Everyone gives me different info but from from what I can work out the rs 2000 rails are different to the ghia.
The rs have attached legs on the rails where as the ghia are similar to other escorts with the legs attached to the crossmember.
Unless they changed in year model?
Help!

No there's no uprights on floor,checked numbers etc it's a genuine rs.I had been to a wrecker and he showed me what he said was a ghia body and it had the welded uprights on the floor. So it obviously wasn't a Ghia. If I was to use the ghia seats for now and somehow find some scheel seats in the future will it all be at the right height etc?

I should be able to help out with RS/Ghia rails. If interested send me a PM and I'll start the quest to find them.
Cheers,

Does anyone have any photos of the difference between the two, being RS and not RS?
That would be helpful.
Thanks.
Chuff.

HI All,
Tex, if Mark takes the set of seat rails, I'm fairly sure I have a complete set, will have to check them and make sure they're ok. Will keep an eye on the posts and see what happens.

Hi All, I'm chasing a driver side set if there are any still up for grabs. Happy to consider a pair if preferred.

By using these seat runners instead of the tower mounts, does an RS2000 or a Ghia end up with a lower seat cushion height than L and GL Escorts?

Hi, following on from this thread the runners have a small plastic bearing type arrangement. Has anyone ever replaced these and if so any idea where to get them?
It appears I am missing one from the passenger side so a little bit of play being found in the seat.
Cheers
