1971 Riv seat doesn’t work

[Duff71Riv]

My rivieras seat doesn’t work. I know the motor works, but the gears have broken away so the seat motor just turns nothings. I looked online but I couldn’t find any help or replacement parts. Does anyone have any ideas or seat parts? Thanks,Ryan

Most if not all these parts are universal across the GM line late 60's early 70's.

I have a complete driver's bucket seat, but either the motor or the motor and switch have been removed.  All of the gearing is still in it though.  It would be expensive to ship it.  I got it from a junkyard in Denton, TX for $125 plus shipping when I needed one of those parts....long time ago, cant' remember which of those parts I needed.  If you're in Florida  I'll give it to you for $50 and you get it down from the attic.  If I had to ship it, it would be at least $125 plus shipping.  It would be more trouble that I need to get down out of the attic.

Thanks you for the offer! My seat is almost perfect, it just needs the insides. And I’m in Ohio and I imagine shipping is a lot. I wouldn’t want you to have to go through the trouble of getting it out of the attic. Thank you though!

Hey there, I sent you links with bench length cables but the gears are the same.

 

As you know the the bucket cables are much shorter....

That's okay PWB.  I expect it to be in the attic and go to the dumpster when I die...................which I hope won't be soon. 😀
