Need help with my drivers seat repair
Ok I know about the rocking seat fix, I ordered the parts to fix it and when I took it apart to do so this is all I could find wrong...
Not sure how to fix this, do I take it apart bend then to a 90 degree and re assemble? Everything else looks ok. The bottom of the actual seat frame that bolts to this is cracked on the rear door side. I bought it like this last year and assumed I just needed the repair kit.
Any ideas would be great.
My plan is to build C6 13 ZR1 seats and put them on these bases.. I have a pair of C6 frames with no rails from all my research they should bolt right on, what do you guys think?

Looks like you've had a few donuts in your life.,,, Those gussets should look exactly like the ones on the other end of the seat., they control the lift angle of the front of the seat bottom and the rear seat bottom on tow separate axis.. Those seats are made in Mexico, and are made and tested for a 250 lb. occupant, however if you kneel on the seat you can inflict similar damage.,
You have to be careful bending them. Usually the pot metal Triangle anchors crack in half when subjected to heavy load,, its usually the rear ones that take the most abuse.
These pivot anchors are usually what breaks.
