I was in the middle of installing a seat cushion repair kit, in the hope fo making the driver seat a little more comfortable.
During the install, I found that the previous owner had been in the driver seat already, and did a hack job, and part of the frame to be broken. Great start to a Sunday.
Is this broken bracket something that can even be purchased, or replaced?
If not, then I'm assuming that my only other option would be to swap out the frame. Would I be looking for a standard seat (non-sport) correct? Or is it different for Z06 models?
Anyone in the Alabama area looking to sell some seats?lol
I'm not looking for aftermarket seats, I would like to keep it OEM stock.
For reference for the photo, this is the bottom seat cushion area rear right hand side
That bracket looks like it's attached to the rod with some sort of set screw. I would venture it is unobtainum so I would consider a seat track replacement. I believe there is no difference between Z06 and base seats
It’s a common part to break, and there are both cnc aluminum and cnc steel replacements available. C&S corvette, among others, generally has them in stock.

wow thanks, thats exactly what i was hoping was available
Get the C&S replacement bracket. It is an easy fix. That is just a drift pin and they supply a new one. You can get one dude or both check the condition of the other before ordering.
I have a set of those original brackets that you can have if you want
Thanks for the offer, but I think my options that i'm deciding between are either the c&S repair kit, finding a really good pair of Z06 seats for sale, or get a nice pair of aftermarket seats.
Just out of curiosity, why does it seam everyone puts corbeau seats in there c5? I had a set, and wasnt impressed

They fit and they are cheap.
There are much better seats but they are not cheap.
if you go in and fix the brakes and the adjuster bushings the factory seats are fine for street driving.
Also with the lower foam off the seat it needs replaced replace it. It is cheap. Then put a piece of burlap between the foam and seat. This keep the cover tight as the original foam gets cut by springs and can in many cases cut through to the leather where you are sitting on the spring not foam.
I tuned up both my seats and they are like new. The covers are un cracked in good shape yet.
I like my seats as they fully function with memory.
Some aftermarket’s if more for racing can get old unless you do track time. They also wear where you slide in. A friend has a F40 even had to make carbon fiber bolster covers as his seats wore through. The leather was thin for weight but it was cheap even in that car too.
GM tried to save money and weight and we are lucky there are fixes for them.
