DUPLICATE MESSAGE, I THINK THE 1ST ONE WAS LOST

I copied the following part numbers from the dealer microfiche:

255 887 225C - above floor mounting plate, both sides, 2 required, $13.92
ea.
255 887 225  - below floor mounting plate, left side, $15.46
255 887 225A - below floor mounting plate, right side, 13.92
253 887 465  - plastic cap for seat leg "dowels", 2 required, $2.20 ea.
255 887 401A - upper reinforcement, left side, OBSOLETE
255 887 401  - upper reinforcement, right side, OBSOLETE
255 887 402  - upper reinforcement, right side, $??? PROBABLY OBSOLETE

Unfortunately, my notes fail me from here on.  There is a bracket
on the left upper mount that I didn't get the number for.  It is
#27 on fiche.  Also some large washers (possibly plastic) #29 on
fiche.  401, 401A, 402, and the mysterious #27 are simple pieces
of angle iron that could be fabricated by anyone with common hand
tools.  All part numbers and prices were obtained at a Southern
California VOW dealer.  All of the lefts and rights apply to the
parts as you look forward at the rear of the passenger (right
side) front seat.

In a previous post, I stated that the above floor mounting plates
were flat steel with a hole in the center.  This is probably
wrong.  My notes show a short "pipe" protruding from the face of
both above and below floor plates.    Someone with a factory
installed seat may be able to verify how the plates fit together.
 My plan was to call someone I know locally with a Carat and have
another look prior to installation.

I hope that this doesn't ADD to the confusion.
