Seat sliders

Anyone know of a seat slider or fitting that can be removed and refitted the other way round so that you can have the option of observing the skier or seeing where you're going? I don't think there will be enough room to just swivel the seat round, so it will have to be removed and refitted the opposite way round?

Thanks,

If you can find a scrap Skoda Estelle they had quite a good seperate compact slider I'm not sure if the seat will slide out of the runner but can prob be modified to do so,I used them when Auto Grass racing

I bought a set from Fletcher a couple of years ago, that do exactly as stated. Not sure if Fletcher are still around though, the website seems to have stopped working.

Not sure if these will do the job off the shelf but should be easily modified.

Ooh, they look nice! Might get some of those for the cat instead of making up mounting boxes at that price!

Cheers, James
