    [WANTED] 66 Valiant bench seat cable

    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..
