vintage recaros

hi I have a set of these seats.
I am trying to figure out something and am not sure how to search on it.
I apologise.
the problem is I don't know what to call the part i am looking for.
they are the elastic supports under the seat that attach to the seat frame and hold up the cushion.
they are really worn out now and I wonder if there are replacements available.
or if there is a way to put new elastic on the metal hooks and re install them.
hope this makes sense, sorry if it is not clear

ok still trying to find some useful info searching around.
maybe if I ask about a long island interior shop that would help?
has any one used a shop on long island that they recommend?

Could you flip the seat and take a picture of the straps?
I am sure somebody will steer you in the right direction..

they're in the car now
but i can lift the cushion up on the driver's side
I'll go click a quick picture now

the supports under the driver's seat were so worn that I replaced them with a beach chair repair kit.
is ok for the short term
but I would like to have them as they should be
here's a shot from above

and here is a shot of where the supports should be in place of my cobbled together quick fix

Very cool seats Paul! An Upholsterer will definitely be able to repair those support straps. That configuration is common to a lot of auto seats.

I think that is what I need to do
just want to find out if anybody on long island has any leads on a good shop
