2006 E250 ford van with broken drivers seat.
the culprit is a thin walled tubing with cams on both ends which lift the rear of the seat that has stresses fractured and separated from its intended purpose:
Not having the proper tools and possibly the strength to lift the seat, my preference would be for someone to remove the seat, weld it, and replace it, however if that is too much work or time consuming and assuming I can get the seat out, Ford likes to use "different" fastners, in this case a giant Torx looking bolt, the front ones being Female and the rear hex nut with a male Torx bolt?
Does anyone have the time , ability & equipment to weld this back together for me?
This, in my mind, is a wire feed or similar sort of job.
I am not looking for gratis work, I am willing to pay for your time and talent.
I live in Beaverton but am willing to drive some for your help.
Thank you kindly
Thor
