Need a picture under the seat

I have a favor to ask... I need to know what connects the two releases together under the drivers bucket seat so that when you push in on the handle it disengages the stops and lets you adjust the seat. My left and right side are currently connected together with bailing wire, which I am assuming was not a factory option......
Thanks in advance...

Re: Need a picture under the seat

not sure about the Blazer but I think my Nova's buckets just have a length of wire connecting the two sides. I think I replaced one with a piece of tie wire... which I guess is kinda like bailing wire. I think bench seat cars have a loooonger piece of wire.

Re: Need a picture under the seat

This is the best I can do for you, without cutting off the tube.

Re: Need a picture under the seat

Ok, so that looks like it is a metal rod in the tubing? That would make more sense than what I currently have. Thanks for the help.

Re: Need a picture under the seat

Your welcome. It looks like a pretty simple setup; stiff rod with looped ends
