Hi Darren,

If anyone has them besides piper, it might be webco. I find it hard to believe that you could wear out the rails.

Good luck, Don

Darrin,

Is there a particular reason you are looking for rails?

They are shaped differently and by chance if they were not correctly installed, they might operate as if there is a problem.

Also, if the carpet and fuel bowl are not installed, the seats will bind.

Hope this might help.

Hi,

I may have misunderstood but I believe the inquiry(from a companion post) was regarding the rails for seats 3&4. If so, those are straight and flat, unlike the 1&2 seats. There are no rails for seats 5&6.

Good luck, Don

Darrin,
I would call around to the salvage yards. Look up the part number in the parts manual on the main ICS page under technical tab. Once you have it, some quick calls will usually yield some good results, especially something like this that doesn't usually wear out, or doesn't get crunched in a gear up landing. Some salvage yard I would try are White industries, Air Salvage of Dallas, and Wentworth. Hope this helps.

Hi Darrin:

Not sure which seat rails you need but there are some rails for a Pa-24, (same rails as the Pa-30) for sale on E-bay. The prices ranging from 150 to 250 US dollars
for a set. Check the salvage yards for their prices and make a deal...I am sure there are plenty out there.

Thanks for the advice. I have one that has some pretty bad corrosion on the underside of the left outboard rear rail. This was probably caused
by someone spilling something at some point. The floor underneath looks perfect?
