Ferrari Mailing List: broken seat rack on 308

[Michel Savard (mysavard]

1981 308 GTSi: I have a broken seat rack. The part that goes into the slots is 
missing a bit, as if it was cut. So the seat doesn't hold in place anymore. 
When I noticed that last year, I turned the seat over and saw that even the 
spring had been forced. It was "enlarged" at one end. I know a mechanic forced 
it. Don't forget that you pull up to send the part in the required slot and 
push down to free it. Or is it vice-versa ? Opposite of most cars, strangely 
enough. I guess the guy just forced it going the opposite way. It held in one 
slot for one year, but last week it broke for good. It's stored for the winter 
now.

Anyway, I know the 2 seats can't be switched, but my question is: Can I switch 
the rack from the passenger seat to the driver's seat ? This way, I could fix 
the broken one in one slot permanently on the passenger side.

If not,do they sell new ones ? I've never seen one for sale on Ebay or anywhere 
else.
