WTB: Hatchback rear bench seat's lower frame

[why?]

Not sure you'd want to ship that, it is really hefty.

What are you going to do with it?

If I remember correctly from some of his other threads, he has removed a 60/40 split, and wants this item to build a platform on.

Correct. Seats in storage now. The 60/40's don't have this frame on which to place a deck.

FYI -- I've ordered a new one, under $106 shipped. But is "backordered," like many of the other unusual Toyota parts I've bought in the past, but they've always come through with 'em.

Did you order it online through one of those internet Toyota dealer parts counter? If so, can you let us know who? I have a similar idea; I am thinking of replacing my 60/40 seat with a locking "trunk". The inability to lock stuff in a trunk is the one thing I don't like about hatchbacks.

Basically, I would turn my Yaris into a two seater with a locking box mounted to the rear floor that opens up to the back through the hatch. For just $106, I don't mind just ordering it and letting it sit around my garage while I think about going forward with the idea or not. Because I know if I wait too long, the part will become unavailable...
