The back on my front seat broke this morning when I was reaching into the back seat. It looks like some of the metal hinge broke off on the seat back. At this point I am looking for options since I can't drive while laying down.

Thanks.

Take a picture. I may have some seat parts I can scavenge for you. Ray

I'm going to be scrapping some seat parts, so I may be able to help out too.

The part is the metal spacer and washer that goes on the bottom of the adjuster. It looks like I need both sides as the other one is falling apart too.

Hey there Reluctant,

Are these the part(s) you need?

They are kind of nestled up in there and hard for me to tell. If you think they may work, I'll figure out how to disassemble and mail them out to you.

PM me with any further details. Either way, good luck. Hope this helps.

- Ron

ClassicCamper , yes those are the parts. If you do not need them they would be greatly appreciated. They are a little odd. I have not seen them used in other seats.

Thanks.

Please confirm that is what you need and re-send your address. Thanks.
