What year is your car?
They look like 1969/70 recliners with the seat fold tab on them?
You cannot buy spare parts for them as far as I know

Hello Sean,

It’s a friend’s car, it’s a 911E - 1969 but the seats are supposed to be ex. 912 car as the owner claims.

The bracket assemblies shown in your pics certainly crop up on Ebay, at a price of course like everything for our cars, and often with the spline bolt still attached.

I needed a spline bolt, and had to buy the whole assembly to obtain one.

If it is the spline bolt that you need, note that there are at least two different spline bolt lengths (roughly 60mm and 45mm). The long one can be cut down to match a short one. If the teeth have gone behind the chrome bracket, then obviously you need a matching chrome bracket....
