Default Extended seat rail for Disco II?

Did some research and could only find the extended seat rails for the Defender.

Does anybody know of a similar solution for the Discos? I'm tall and if I could gain 2 or 3 inches on would be awesome!

Let me know what you know!

There was a good write up on the LRRF by someone who wanted to slide his seat back further, maybe 2 years ago, might do a search.

Yes I did, although, If i did it again, I wouldn't have extended it as much. I would have made the holes closer. I don't need an additional 7 3/4 inches, 5" would have been enough, because now the seat is a little too far back when moved all the way up for my wife to drive.

I didnt remove the seat, once you unbolt the motors from the rail, it will slide back and forth.

Thanks for the link, and thanks to the Internet Timemachine I have resurrected this method and preserved it. My legs will surely appreciate it.
