Lever for Springfield Seat Mount

Willhound

Hey Gang
Went to swivel my seat yesterday and the handle came off in my hands. Cheesy nylon. Anybody know if parts are available or am I likely buying a new mounting plate/swivel? Been doing some searches but so far no luck.

Did find this one. Looks compatible?

Have to compliment Springfield for excellent customer service! Sent a question late yesterday and received a reply this morning. Posted here for anyone else it may help. 
I believe my post is 2 3/8" but heading to boat soon and will measure. The lever sells for around $25 and a new bushing (might as well while in there) around $15 but I found a whole new mount for $59 so might just do that. Here is response from Springfield:

Part # 2100095 is for:

Handle for Trac-Lock Seat Mount that are 2-7/8" with Pin Assembly.

Includes:

Roll Pin Stainless Steel

Spring (6 coil) Stainless Steel

Pin 2.100"

Part# 2100099 is for:

Handle for Trac-Lock Seat Mount that are 2-3/8" with Pin Assembly.

Includes:

Handle

Roll Pin Stainless Steel

Spring (6 coil) Stainless Steel

Pin 2.354"

So after getting to the boat today I can also see my slides are badly worn, the slide handle is broken off (I'm tall so the seat is always slid right Back, but still...) So I'm thinking of just changing the whole mount/slide. Found these two, which to my eyes look identical except one is $40 cheaper. Comments? Anyone use the Wise?
Would also like a taller post but haven't found one. Is that a AYBC spec thing? I suppose while I have it apart I could add some square tube like others have.

Try Cascade Depot. They have page after page after page of any type seat mount, adjustable, fixed height, pedestal bases etc etc, you name it. Much of it is Springfield brand. Their prices also seem to be very reasonable.

@Willhound, I just checked their site (Cascade Depot), same Trac-Lock mount, half the cost, around 70 bucks.

$USD. I'm in Canada. Have to add 30% and shipping and sometimes duty. Works out about the same. Appreciate the looking though.

Happy to report that the less expensive Wise mount in the link above solved the issue tickety boo. I did have to re-drill the mounting holes on the slide because none of the 3 different patterns fit my seat. Seat now slides, swivels and locks like a new one.
