I’ve tried for several days to find this hardware with no luck. Any suggestions? What about seats that used a long rod that goes side to side? Would that work in place of the cable system? Thanks Bill D Last edited by Grumpy_Gramps; 02/03/23 09:16 PM.

Their plan is to install modern seats which need to mount directly to the floor. It is very difficult to find a riser. Typically they get so damaged during removal that they just get scrapped.
