WTB Knob and bellcrank for front seat.

[SJFry]

I'm rebuilding my front seats on my 1973 coupe and need some parts.

First - the knob used to unlatch and tilt the seatback forward. Seems that there are (at least) 2 different styles. One is simpler circular profile. The other is flatter, but curvy. Seems that I have both kind on my car. And I don't want to mix and match.

Here's a picture of one of the knobs that I have. It's the flatter curvy shape. Honestly, I don't think I care which style I have, but I would like a matching set. So, if you have one or the other, please let me know.

Second - what I'd call a bellcrank. Actually, I need 2 of these since both of mine have been damaged. They are located at the bottom of the front seatback and are attached to each other by a rod that runs the width of the seat. When the seatback lever is lifted, that motion eventually twists these which disengages the seatback. Notice the arrow showing the damage. That should be a cylindrical shape with a groove for a retaining ring.

Any help would be appreciated.

You have only pictured one knob (and I don't have a match for that one).
