    G’day all. In the photo I am holding the broken sliding strap from the front passenger seat back of my 1971 GS, against the driver’s seat back. It is broken at the bottom where it attaches to the bracket in the base of the seat; the plastic coating is also missing. I need the slide with bracket and bracket mounting bolts please; destination Australia.

    Over to you; thanks in advance

    Ben

    I may have one here, too. New reproductions are available, also.

    Thanks for the replies; any idea who stocks the reproduction items? They don’t seem to be available at oldbuickparts.com, and I need several other items as well, which I would like to get all from the same place if I can (international shipping being somewhat pricey).

    '69 - '72 Chevelle should be the same, believe the basic framework, springs, and tracks interchanged among A bodies. Earlier '66 - '68 seats were similar, but didn't have headrests (exc some '68's) and had back release buttons in various other places.
