Hey gang,
I know I've brought this up before, but I am still looking for 2 flex drive shafts for my passenger seat. If you have done the seat bushings mod, you have touched these cables/shafts/flex drives. they are at the very end of the kabob...2 per seat. these are NOT what you get if you order #4 off the OEM page. I talked at length to Pelican parts, and they knew what I was talking about, but he couldn't find a part number on them, either. so I think I need a junked seat to get a pair. I have no good junkyards nearby. Does anyone have a part number or an old seat base and want to make a few bucks?? since both of mine are shot, I have no working seat for my passengers, and I have already set the airbag light off on the dash. I will get that reset when I get the seat back together properly. thanks for any help. heres a pic of needed part. battery and chapstick for size comparison

I know someone who's going over in February if that's any use? I don't know how big/heavy these bits are so let me know if I can help.

I am blown away. But don't worry,oldcarman, I will compensate handsomely. I must say tho,this forum feels more like good 'family and friends' than any place I have EVER spent time on. truly. All you guys are something else!!

We're a very social lot Tom, I've no idea what postage will cos from the UK but I could get them posted to you from Kissimmee in February if you're not in a huge rush to have them.

Well if you send Andy @spurs fan in a coupe a private message he can post them to me near Lincoln and you can pay him for the postage. I'll send him my postal address and you can let me have your address in Port St. Lucie and I'll get Shirl to post them on to you when she's at our place in February, bound to be cheaper that trans Atlantic postage I reckon.

I thinking the shorter blacker ones you're after?

Will get a postage price, doubt a parcel this small would cost much more to US, but will check.

Cheers

I don't think any of those are short enough. they look like that bag o' shafts [item #4 on oem page] but none look like the ones I need
