[DeTomaso] seat track rollers

[Larry - Ohio Time Corp.]

Dan and Jim,

I did have a friend (yes even me) in town that had the Hall rollers that 
would roll around as you drove. I used wheel bearing grease in the tracks to 
"glue" them in place. The Butt / Leg advantage still had the power to adjust 
the seat.
