Buying a seat rail

I have to get a new seat rail, for the pilots seat, to satisfy the AD and complete my annual. Any advice or suggestions? Recommendations on where to get one?

Same, great part supplier. Buy the $3 dollar or so metal strips that MCF sells to make a template for the holes in the floor or make your own with .025 Alum. Drill out old track, lay metal strip over the holes, use a hole finder to pick up the holes onto the template. Place the template onto the bottom side of the seat track in the correct orientation and drill. Cleco into place, and then make noise Takes about 1 1/2 hours to do a good job per track, (Allows a little time for some B.S.ing)[/code][/i]
