2001 helm seat pedestal mount part/source?

[mleads310]

To make a long story short, I’m trying to switch back to my original Helm seat. A few years ago I switched over to an aftermarket at first I was happy and now I’m no longer satisfied. I went to go lay out all the parts in hopes to try to figure out how to put the original one back together as I had to disassemble it to use some of the old parts for the aftermarket seat. And now that I have everything laid out, I just realized the part that the pedestal slides into is cracked as pictured below. Does anyone know where to source this?

Cracked? You mean the gap that allows the socket to be loosened and tightened?

Yes, right right there in the photos below. I never noticed it to be honest and I did. I would’ve tried to source one years ago. I just don’t know how to go about getting another one because it’s a complete assembly at least that white plastic part that tightens to the pedestal.

Yup, that piece snapped off.
You won't find that part, you will need to purchase a new slider assembly. It doesn't have to be Pompanette. Measure the spacing between the mounting holes ( lengthwise and widthwise) Hopefully those will be one of the typical standards.
Note also that there should be a plastic cylindrical sleeve mounted on the seat post that fits into the hole. Pedestal diameter would be 2 7/8 in.
