Colt Vista seat mounts

I came across the third row seat of a colt vista, the one that splits and can fold up, but it does not come with any of the brackets or mounts or anything. Does anyone who uses this seat have any ideas for me?

I have no fabrication or welding skills so its not like I could just make my own, however I've been looking for one of these seats for a while so I would appreciate any suggestions before I buy it. Thanks in advance.

Vin they are recessed and the hoop on the bottom of the seat clips into it. You can weld it to a cage or bolt it or recess and weld onto the Bronco floorboard. Look att the pics below, this is a set I am saving for when I find another seat. If you have access to the wagon still get the middle seat as it fits perfect with a bit of work up front. hope this helps...Mo

Thanks for the pics, someone just pulled the seats but no longer has the car so I don't have any access to it. Would any other seats have similar mounts that I could modify to work, something with a similar release lever for a fold and tumble?

I am sure something does not sure which though. Have you gone to the wrecking yards. These were super common a few years back. I sold a few seats and mounts they were so common. I haven't been in need for anything from there so have not kept up with their availability..Mo

Yup just searched the local junk yard on Saturday but couldn't find anything of use. I think I'm just going to get the seats and hope that some mounts will turn up somewhere or someone will chime in with other suggestions.
