Any interest for 1st Gen 4Runner pull handles?

Wanted to see if this was a major problem in the 1st gens, the rear seat pull handles to fold the backs down have broken on both of my seats. I got in contact with a 3D printing company that would be willing to make some of there was somewhat of an interest in the community. Anybody interested in 3D printed pull handles?

From what I've seen there are different release mechanisms in the first gens. (mine are metal) You should post a photo of the kind you are referring to.

I can’t get a great picture since I don’t have any of my own to picture. Here’s the best I can find. Plastic knob like handles to fold the seat backs down.

My 4runner has the type you posted a picture of as far as I can tell. Both of mine are still intact, but I'm sure there must be a lot of people out there with missing or broken ones. Have you gotten a price per knob?

He didn’t give me a price, he wanted to gauge the interest at first. I’ll ask him.

Can anyone post a better close up picture of the knobs themselves?

Knobs should be pretty standard. Go to junkyard and try some. Plastic housing of my backrest broke so I got a set from 3rd gen. I think it will work but Ive been too busy to install.
