Question about manual front seat rails.

We pulled the seat out to repair some floorboard rust and replace the missing seat return springs. I suspect the two coat hangers tied together might not be the original connecting link. Was the original link between the seat release levers a cable or a solid wire or thin rod? I have both 3/16 aircraft cable and 14 ga steel wire available. Also, how were they terminated? I have one each or the release and return springs, I haven't found originals but found functional replacements. I'll attempt to modify them to look more correct.

When I get time, I shall document the effects of a leaking rear trans seal on the inner workings of an R11 Overdrive. It isn't pretty. Tom

It's a wire rod, angle at one end and little screw block at the other for adjustment. Here's a pic of my 52 seat, should be the same.
