I bought the Shapeways kit. Not cheap for a few bits of plastic but it should fix my seat, which is moving under acceleration and braking due to the rail block disintegrating.

Kit as it arrived. The bits I really need are the square blocks. They connect the rails to the screw mechanism. If they disintegrate then the fitting is sloppy.
😎Thanks John it been about a year and a half since I looked at my seat while painting my C2 back to her original Mint Gruen. I think those parts are still there was just courious thanks again
John
ps great name you have 😁
If your seat moves under acceleration or braking then the likely issue is this plastic insert that holds the rail. Replacement is simple.
Does anyone know the pn. for the square nut shown in this post? It is the traveler nut that moves the seat as the threaded shafts turn on each seat track. Mine both stripped their threads and I need replacements. - Smiling Jim
The part can be purchased in the link below. I recently purchased a set and installed. I had a slight issue, but customer service went above and beyond to help me out. I have no affiliation. The parts are very tight, so care must be used when installing them. You will want to use a little grease on them. They worked fabulously, and my wife will once again ride with me and not complain about feeling like she is about to go through the windshield, lol

A note to people looking at this. The only critical part to stop the seat movement is the cover around the metal block. You could use other items to take up the slack e.g. I saw someone on FB use washers. USD 125 for a few plastic parts is too expensive. I've done it for one seat but I won't for the second.
Got it. My mind automatically went to the plastic parts that all need replacing. There is probably a pretty easy way to use the right nut (lol) with JB Weld on a flat piece of metal and some plastic washers.
dear friends let me know who needs them. I had made some of those kits with ACETAL material. It’s a good, strong and less friction between parts. I’ll attach some pictures.
