Like everyone else, I'm doing some serious cleaning. 
 

I don't know what I thought I'd use these for and I don't know what they're from but they're low and flat mounts. 
 

Local pickup in Los Angeles or I'll ship

What's the spacing between bolt holes f/r on the floor side, and if it's around 17", a ballpark for shipping to 39530?

Looks like 22 3/4"

rough guess??  $25-35

You should be able to get a flat rate board game size box from usps and slide them in there for $19

I'd sure try.  Says the largest box is 23 11/16"

if it would fit it would be the way to go and be cheaper

Thanks for checking, unfortunately they're too long for the DSM.

How far too long?   Holes could easily be elongated 1/4" each side.  Plus the hole is huge.  I bet you could get down to 22" easily.  Probably 21.5"

 

you could also cut off the mounting ears and bolt the track straight to the floor or to a custom set of ears/mounts

i can cut them off or elongate the holes for you if you'd need

In reply to jfryjfry (Forum Supporter) :

The DSM has 2 stamped raised rails that the seat tracks bolt to, and they're about 17" front-to-rear on center. I'll post a pic in a while that may show it better than I can explain it, but since the car doesn't have a flat floor I'm pretty constrained by that distance. 
 

My original thought was to use a set of Miata rails as I have a couple spare seats, but their mounting tabs are angled downward. I may be able to straighten them out without bending/binding the sliders, but starting out with flat ones like yours would be the easier option. I've also not yet pulled one of the DSM seats to see if its sliders are removable...I don't have room to get them out of the car right now. Lol

Here's the constraints I'm dealing with. I highlighted where the raised parts of the floor are. 

 


 

If you think your rails could still work let me know what I owe you for shipping.
