    Default Anyone have a late 85 VK ? - Weird Question

    I'm trying to sort out what type of seat rails I've got, I think they are late 85 VK (not HDT) but I need to confirm that this is the case.

    They have the full width lever bar to adjust the seat position rather than the earlier twist knob style which ran through VB to most of the VK run. They have quite a small turn up on the end though compared to the VL etc. See pic below:

    If I can identify it, I'll be after a second one if someone has one laying about, well I only would need the bar but probably have to buy the whole thing.

    Cheers

    yup 85 VK rails

    Also HDT didnt have "special" seat rails my Scheels have 85 VK rails bolted to them

    Im pretty sure VL is the same as well or will fit and the cat hump is on the passengers side

    cheers

    Thanks for that. you don't have a pic of your interior that shows it do you ?

    They are very similar to VL ones, but an hour at Pick and Pay less leads me to believe that all VLs have a much larger angled piece which comes about half way up the front of the seat, like this:

    lucky for you I took pics when I fitted the rails to my seats after the retrim.

    The "arm" wont matter between models it will still work, the higher VL one will prob be easier to adjust as you wont need to reach down as far, else the VL/VK "arms" are interchangeable

    cheers

    Hi Scott,

    Thanks for your help, I have one for the passenger side that looks similar to yours, but the drivers side is the one in my pic, so they look very different when fitted to the seat and in the car. I was hoping to get them to match.

    If the website at the end of your signature is yours thanks also for the info in that as it was very helpful when I was doing my efi conversion.

    Cheers,

    Paul
