That's what it looks like to me Dunc. Someone has asked for the rails off the old MX6 seats on the FB Page so I'll see what they say.
Cheers mate 8-)

Might need to drill the lug out and then replace it with a nut and bolt.

Hi Paul
Have spare MX6 seat here any pic,s of your problem and will take this one apart
the seat pads all come off /plus the rear up apart on a Probe so should be the same ;)

Hi Kev,
Seat out of car as you slide the seat along the runners there's a stopper like a brass lug front and back which prevents the metal work of the seat being removed from the runner. Can't see how to get around this other than as Justin says, drill out or maybe grind off .

Take the seat off the ‘running rails’ :idea:

So just leave all metal together and remove just the seat ?
