Delorean Power Seat Track Engineered, built and working!
I have been looking for power seat tracks and power seats that would fit the DeLorean for many years.
I have now given up my search.
I decided to build my own using the stock DeLorean seat tracks and a linear actuator.
The D seat tracks have approximately 6" of travel. So I bought a 6" linear actuator.
Given a typical coefficient of friction with a 250 lbs driver - 50 lbs of force was selected.
Speed of at least 1" per second was typical for power seats.
Cost about $150 in parts per side. Not including the welding.
So here are pictures of the finished driver's seat power seat track.
Yes, it only goes back and forth, because there really isn't any extra head room in a D.
They work really nice! Finally, power seats in a DeLorean!
