Seat Rails for Cessna Aircraft
  • Carefully engineered with many improvements
  • Anodized for corrosion and wear resistance
  • Easier installation
  • Full interchangeability with the original Cessna parts
More Material in the Right Places
After studying countless worn and failed seat rails McFarlane's rails were designed with 15% more metal in critical areas. The result is more crack resistance, durability, strength and longer life. 
 
To learn more, go to Cessna Seat Rails.
 
Installation Tip: 
The aircraft floor is subject to corrosion from moisture under the seat rails, so be sure to remove and treat any corrosion before installing the new seat rails.

Seat Roller Kits for Cessna Aircraft
 
                     
  • Improved strength and longer life
  • Cessna 150 thru 210 series aircraft
  • Nylatron-GS® rollers
  • Acetal® wear washers
Choose the Correct Kit
The seat related replacement parts are not serial number specific, as the type of seat installed in the aircraft was optional when the aircraft was ordered from the factory. A common seat configuration is the pilot seat being "articulating" or "infinitely adjustable" while the co-pilot seat is the "standard" or "vertically adjustable" style.
 
The most positive way to ensure that you are choosing the proper seat kit for your aircraft is to measure the rollers.

Rivet, Screw and Spotface Kits 
 
McFarlane offers either rivets or screws in convenient kits containing AN and MS hardware. Since it is difficult to install many of the rivets required to attach the seat rail, it is permissible to substitute screws with ultimate tensile strength exceeding 50 ksi with lock nuts, provided the holes are ream fit and spotfaced.  Please see the FAA General Aviation FAA General Aviation Airworthiness Information Bulletion CE-90-03R2, 08/26/2002 for specific recommendations.
