Default C6 SEATS IN A C3 Wiring Question

Yes, I posted this in the C6 section but always seem to get more response from the C3 people, gals and guys. Just purchased almost new pair of C6 seats for my 72 and now looking for parts, of course. Anyone know where I can purchase the other ends for the seat wiring harness? Plugs for my connections and a small length of wire on each would be a big help. These seats have everything but all I need is a back and forth, up and down control to work. Can always cut away the connectors and wire up the hard way but was hoping for something a little better. Thanks in advance,
Norm

Norm,
I put 03" Sport seats full power in my 74. I just took all the orange wires together, and all the bk. together. Works fine glassman74

Thanks Glassman,
Will certainly take a look at that route. If anyone has the harness, would still be interested in it.
Thanks,
Norm

I did the same thing Craig (Glassman74) did. Got a polarized 2 prong plug, drilled a small hole (grommeted) through the bulkhead into the battery compartment and fused the power lead (orange wire) hooked directly to the battery.

If you decide to go the C5-C6 seat route Craig has great photos of the mounts he made.
