Under seat connecting wire
The wire that connects the driver side seat adjustment mechanism to its counterpart under the seat on the passenger side is broken on my '71 F-100. I've looked for a replacement wire in numerous bumpside catalogs but have not found the part. Any ideas and thanks in advance for your help.

Go to a local grocery store and ask one of the courtesy clerks (bag boys) for a piece of bailing wire. Grocery stores have compacting machines that compress empty cardboard boxes in to cubes (bails). Once it's full the clerk wraps pieces of this bailing wire around the bail to keep it compressed for shipping. The bailing wires are approx 4-5 feet long. They are bigger gauge wire than seat wires but they have the length.

I thought doctors had moved on to a more humane solution by now...
