Default WTB Seat Recliner Mechanism

I need the drivers side mechanism that the handle attaches to on the side of the seat that lets the back recline. I don't need the cables just the part that has three little screws that mounts to the bottom of the seat. Thanks


Got one thanks

Did your's break off mid shaft? Mine broke off. I took it apart and sleeved it together. I used a cartridge case for a 300 Remington Ultra Magnum. Cut it off just to make a sleeve. I used Brownells Acra-glass gel. Then I cross drilled it and used small roll pins to lock it from spinning loose. Grind off the excess pin sticking out. Knock on wood, been two years now and it's still holding. Cheap fix! The Crank box is out of this world for price. Take the seat out and turn it over. You can get at all of it that way, Just make sure you get the two broken parts to line up at the break so the slot is in the right place. Good luck!

The flat mount part snapped not the round part. So I still need a new one.

The flat part on mine snapped also. Just keep the sleeve back far enough to clear the handle. You would be surprised what the Brownells Acra Glass Gel fixes. You can also drill a small hole in the end after sleeving and pin it lenght wise. Put your handle on the shaft with the clip in place (on the broken part) the part sticking out of the handle is the part that you have to work with. Check it out. Even if you only had an eight of an inch to work with, sleeve that much of it. Then drill your hole down the shaft deep enough to run a trim screw into the solid round part of the shaft. Drill your hole through the handle and and the broke off part slightly larger than the screw. The screw should only be holding onto the solid part of the shaft. But let the Brownells Acra Glass Gell set up for 24 hours. Then do all your drilling, cross pins and end of shaft screw holes. Gert one of the
black trim screws with the counter sunk washer attached if you can find one about an inch or so long. Get it long enough so it bears into the solid part for good contact, the longer the better.

Good luck, I know you can do it.
