Just bought a 66 Valiant Signet convertible with bench seat, went to move the seat forward and realized the cable/spring had been replaced with bailing wire. Is this part available in the aftermarket or does someone have one for sale.

Also looking for rear seat interior side panels..
 
Others can help, but usually there is a "lever" on the inside of each seat track. The drivers side lever is moved when you move your driver side outside knob which in turn moves the pass. side lever. The two levers are connected with a simple wire- moving the drivers side lever moves the pass. side lever. Adjustment is critical so that both sides work in unison. Usually the connecting wire is not run in a straight line from one side to the other but rather a slight "V" shape, being hooked in the middle of the seat to one of its springs. This "V" allows cable adjustment by simply re-hooking to a different location to tighten or loosen the wire. I hope I explained that right.

Yes that makes, from seeing other seats in the past on other cars I didn’t think it was a straight shot.
