seat adjustment problem...

I'm getting tired of hearing SWMBO gripe about not being able to adjust the seat in the truck. The wire that connects the driver's side latch to the passenger side is broken.

What have you guys done to fix this...other than tell the wife to stay out of the driver's seat of the truck??

SWMBO doesn't allow wire coat hangers...something about "Mommy Dearest" really messed with the gray matter...LOL

The wire I have in my supplies may not be strong enough, and I don't think the weld wire we have at work is long enough, as we TiG instead of MiG weld.

Well, I was able to fix it with the wire I had in my tool box. SWMBO is happy, and that makes me happy
