Default WTB: Recliner cable (Passenger) for C5

Hey all, does anyone have an old junk seat laying around that they could pull a part off for me? The 01 z06 I just purchased has a broken passenger side recline shaft and the seat is stuck in permanent gangster position. It's not the handle itself, it's the shaft portion with toe cables attached, it's actually GM part # 10278653. Here's a thread that discusses the replacement for the drivers side:

You might be better off buying a seat frame from a Used Parts Vendor (wrecking yard). I have purchased stuff from Adair's in Arkansas and Cleveland Pick A Part. You can find both on eBay (Adair's ID is innkeeper1999 or http://stores.ebay.com/adairsauto/ and Pick A Part is http://stores.ebay.com/Cleveland-Pick-A-Part ). When I called Adair's about modifying my C6Z seats he had parted out seats from another C6 and had all the piece parts I needed to upgrade my seats.

Hey guys, I was able to find the part from Dino's Corvette Salvage LLC for a very reasonable cost of $75 shipped. All the seat frames I found on ebay, craigslist, etc were way above $100 + shipping.

I highly recommend these guys!
