Kurt was able to merge them into one thread, but yes, please use the "Reply" button next time Doc.

And YES, are you going to start selling them? If so, how much? I need one!!

Post by: Danzo on October 29, 2012, 11:02:46 PM: Guys, I apoligize for the 4 threads. I could not get all the pictures in one thread. Thank you Kurt for fixing that. As far as selling them I would have to see how much interest there is. The cost for each one would be $25.00 plus shipping. What would be the best way to approach this? Put an ad up on Camaros.net? I will wait for feedback.

Thanks, Doc.

While we're on the topic of cables; Do you recall or know what the color scheme is/was for each one of your cables? Seeing how their all different one would think they were designed to be used for different colored interiors. I have the white/parchment interior and both my cables are light gray. I'd be interested to know if there's any correlation.

Post by: KurtS on October 30, 2012, 03:25:38 AM: I think we've see various color combinations of cables and ends. I suspect that since it was a little seen commodity part, they used what they had.

Post by: IZRSSS on October 30, 2012, 12:36:30 PM: I should have done a search. This thread pretty much confirms the cables were picked at random. John's Z's green interior has gray straps. If they were chosen to complement the interior my guess is his would have been black; same with the red interiors.

And you are correct; they certainly are inconspicuous… very hard to see behind the seat hinge covers.

Thanks Kurt.

Title: Re: Passenger Seat Cable
Post by: joesauer on October 31, 2012, 04:38:37 PM: Danzo.....there is a market for these, as no one manufactures them at present. Suggest you contact some vendors (i.e. Steves Camaros, Heartbeat, etc.) & offer them a wholesale price. Assume you'll need to send them samples + commit to guaranteed volumes.

Title: Re: Passenger Seat Cable
Post by: LVN 67 on November 07, 2012, 06:51:34 PM: Gave AKM a call today. I referenced their part # G-5376, which turns out to be only the two bolts. I also gave them the GM part numbers I found on another web page.

Sect 11.381

Cable: #7726498
Screw: #8760228
Spacer:(finish washer): #7674659

They could not cross reference anything they had to the spacer and screw number. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks ???
