Who has GTA driver seat brackets?

I have a '88 GTA with broken driver bracket/slide track (manual). I have found lots parts companies and eBay showing the version with the black "****" release arm. I can't find anyone who has the "hook" style release arm I believe for the optional bucket seat. Looking for guidance to a reliable source. I'd like to stay original.

Otherwise, since I accidentally bought a bracket with the "****" style, can someone tell me whether this bracket/slide track will fit on the bucket seat?
I don't want to get the seat apart only to find that the track sits higher or lower.

Thanks

Are you talking about the track that has 2 hook handles,1 reclines and the other moves the seat back and forward ??if yes then,Yes,all the bolt holes in the seats are the same.

Thank you Mantaguy

Yes one "hook" in the front to allow front/rear travel, and one handle on the side for backrest recline.


BTW I have relatives in Mantua, NJ and I grew up in Cherry Hill.

Re: Who has GTA driver seat brackets?

I'll have to go check again. Car is stuffed in the detached garage with the bikes and it's 15 degrees; I'll try to check. Cleveland and it's stinking cold; S. Jersey not as bad as I've heard from friends I still have there. Been away 20 years now - used to hit Front Street back in the day - visit annually.

Hey Mantaguy, I HAD to go check despite the cold. And YES my seat tracks are what you have in your photo and these are what I CANNOT find. Guess I'll have to keep looking.

Ha! I didn't want to say my time starting was about 1980 to not date myself. Good times! Pat's or Geno's?
