On a Ruby do the adjusters on the seat frames go along side the propshaft tunnel or on the door side of the seat frames ?

From memory - they go on the propshaft side Nigel.

Thanks R , I guessed they did but wanted to be sure.

This is how mine looks:





The operating lever (spring-loaded) points rearwards (to avoid catching clothing) and there is a little cut out in the carpet covered side panel for fingers to grip, the bar cannot go against the transmission tunnel as there is not any room for this to slide into, the cut-out adjustment notches on both of the seat arms themselves engage on each side of the seat with the operating lever, hope that helps.

Nigel's car is a very late Mk2 - your Mk1 is very different set up Gary. I will try and post photos to illustrate the differences.
