If you're talking about the rod that extends across between the two seat tracks, I posted dimensions for making one from steel rod available from the hardware store.
Stand by and I'll track down the thread.
OK, here's where I posted it. Link

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

I ended up using some 3/16 coated cable and a turnbuckle for mine and it works ok.

I’ll go back and cut the excess wire off it sits for a while.

Good solution. thumbs_up It just needs to transfer the pull on the driver's side lever over to the passenger side.
