Been searching all the parts sites I know of and the forums here. Not finding successful results

On my 87 Iroc, front drivers seat there is a bracket that rivets onto the power seat frame. That bracket then bolts onto the floor. That bracket has snapped in half. Due to other "anomolies" with the seat I believe a large man owned the car at some point.

I need to drill out those rivets holding the snapped bracket on the frame of the power seat assembly, then fix a new one on there and rivet it back.

Now my question is where can I find this replacement bracket? Besides junkyards.... And if anyone has one I'll be happy to pony up $$. That's the last bit keeping me from putting my seat back in the car.

Thanks!!

 

My opinion is you are SOL on that bracket. Since it was riveted on and is part of subassembly you will not have much luck finding one. Salvage yards, and buy a beat up seat with that part and go from there.

 

Or pull it off and have it welded, then rivet it back on.

 

Hmmmm.. might try that. Or leads to another idea!

Thanks for the replies guys.

 

Fixed! I got a metal cutting blade for my jigsaw and then cut the ends of the rivets off. One popped right off the other I also had to drill a bit on before it came out. Pulled off the rest of the broken brace.

Went to home depot and got a 3 foot long piece of metal. Cut off about 6 or so inches and drilled out holes to match where the rivets went. Got a few bolts and bolted it back on instead of rivets. Drilled out another hole to slip over the bolt on the floor and done. Once I put the bolt cover back on it'll be hard to see.

Looks kind of crappy but once I clean it up some and replace the bracket cover it'll be better Pictures can be seen at the link below under the interior section.
