Default Replacement driver's seat base

Hi,

Recently picked up another Classic Impreza and as with my last one, the rear brackets holding the base of the driver's seat to the frame have both failed. I found a set of seats on eBay but they had the same problem and I also messaged some sellers who were breaking cars with no reply.

Having given up on used items I've tried to find an aftermarket place that sells them - no joy - and I don't have a subaru main dealer nearby.

Anyone have any suggestions what I should try next?

Thanks
Alan

Failed in what way exactly? Adjuster mech shot, or rails actually split from metal-fatigue?

Good point!

It's the two rivnuts at the back, where the 90 degree brackets from the adjustable base mechanism attach to the seat base itself. I'll see if I can get a decent photo when it's light.

Actually, this is get another set on eBay with the exact same issue...

Making me very reluctant to go for a used set..
