wtd. Powered seat runners or similar.

I'm fitting out my ambulance and it's going ok. Slowly but ok!
In the back I have one pair of fixed travelling seats with three point harnesses. Opposite these seats will be a pair of rear-facing seats with lapbelts and there's a table inbetween. I'm wanting the rear-facing seat unit to slide towards the front-facing seats, with the rear-facing seatback folding down level, to make into a double bed.
I've measured and drawn it all and it will fit together but..
..I want it to happen with the press of a button. Using the seat runners currently earmarke d for the job will work but I want to make life harder for myself!
Any suggestions? It needs to slide 600mm. I was thinking of using a leccy window winder or a wiper gearbox and bike chain. Any one got just the thing cluttering up the shed?
Cheers.

Daft question, won't they need to be secure in place to pass an MOT? I don't know how you'd get anything to move that far and be secure in an accident.

The electric seats in my car are driven on a screw thread with a motor at the back, the screw thread is then bolted to the chassis floor at the front. Perhaps a similar design might work here?

Good point. The frame for the lap belts stays still and is bolted through the floor to the chassis.

Cheers Mango but I won't be spending that sort of money! If I can't find anything cheap, I'll just use the seat runners.
Mood lighting? Yeah but not a good mood....

I have a 2002 Pug 406 which has electric adjustable seats. You can get a whole car for peanuts.
