Rebuilding power seat rails
 
Over the past year or so, I've accumulated 2 sets of power bench seat rails and controls
for my 70 Bonneville. Neither set was in great shape, so I've disassembled them both
to begin rebuilding using the best pieces from the two sets.

The good news is that between the two of them, I will be able to create one nice new
working assembly. The only issue I've run into is that I'd like to replace the plastic/
nylon bushings that allow the seat to slide forward/back. I can probably get (8) usable
ones out of the (16) that came from the two sets of rails, but I sure would rather use
new if possible.

I've searched Google as well as some of the usual Pontiac & GM restoration sites and
haven't found anyone that makes these yet. Anyone happen to know if there's a
supplier out there making them out of a more modern & durable material like Delrin or
UMHW Polyethylene?

I just took a pic of three of the better looking ones. With any luck, someone will
recognize these as a common/available part.
