The classifieds. I have seen sets for sale over the past few months and there are probably some now.

People call them different things. This is the only set I see for sale right now. Sometimes they are bundled with other parts for sale.

I'm sure it's cheaper to find originals while they are available. It is a pretty specialized bolt and would be expensive to have them made new. |

Does your passenger seat have them also? It's not supposed to. Non walk thru has the adjusters too. |

The pair in that ad look different from mine.
These are rounded at the end.
Mine are more pointed.
Were early ones different?
