Are all seat rails the same across all Nova's?

My mate is scrapping his, so I'm thinking about buying his rails off him as I'm getting a set of bucket seats, so installing them will be as easy as one seat out, the other one in.

Edit: forgot to mention, his is a MK1 hatch and mine is a MK2 hatch

There's 2 types, ones that slide backwards and forwards, the others slide but with a tilting motion.
You'll notice the difference if you've adjusted the seat in his car.

^ correct but if your are talking about the interchangability of subframes between nova shells, then they are all the same.

That's not really much of a problem honestly.

As meritlover said, if the rails are all interchangeable throughout Nova's (as in, all the holes line up to the floor of the car) then I'm all set. Thanks for your help

The difference is only in the rears. Models with split rear seats have additional brackets welded onto the floorpan.
