I'm using 172 seats in my '52 170B and ran into the same installation problem. I solved the problem by removing the front outbound roller bracket from the seat, placed the seat on the rail in the normal manner and then reinstall the front bracket. For wht it's worth.

Email me at Jwmcgu@meta-net.net and I'll send you pictures and instructions on the control lock I made for my 170B. I'm pretty dumb, but I figured this one out.
