The passenger side bracket of this piece is broken. This is the bracket that holds the cylinder in place while allowing it to pivot when using the convertible top. The pilot bolt broke off and is missing (Unknown location, cannot find it anywhere in the seat well). Where can I get a replacement? I cannot find it on search, and I am unaware of its exact name

Do you still have the stamped steel portion of the bracket? The pivot stud can be made pretty easily if you have a lathe...

I can make it but I'm in Modesto... (no email address in public forums)is in Sacramento, has a lathe & might have a few minutes to whip something up... If not I can make it happen then you'll need to tack weld it to the bracket..

I do. I just lost the pivot stud (well it wasn't there or anywhere in the car when I removed the seat)

I don't have a tach welder

Dumb question...

It's not still attached to the ram is it?

And you have the other side as a template if you need to make one

What I mean is if you can not get a replacement part. Take your good part and your broken part to a machine shop and have them fix the broken one.


And have you looked at the ram end?

The pin is held on with some sort of device. My top is down or I would get you a photo

It is welded to the part from the looks of it
 
That missing stud is similar to the studs that the hood hinges hang on. I was missing one (for the hood hinge) on my convertible. I used a pin bought from Home Depot, cut it off and welded it in place. I may or may not have an extra or two, but right now with three cars (all convertibles) apart I don't know what's extra.
