gosh 55$ for a seat latch heck its a plate with holes drilled in it, 2 post with holes in them, and a pair of clips. they have gotta be maken some serious cash on those i think i found one off ebay for only 30 and it looks Eeactly like that except a different logo in the middle.

Those "litttle pins and clips" you are talking about are like $10 for a pair. We use them on our racecar and they will hold up. You got to figure material cost for stainless steel, the electric bill and other costs for running their plasma cutter, water jet, or laser cutter to cut the plates and the welding for the pins to go on the plate. It adds up o them making around 5 to 10 bucks off them.

its a square metal palt with a 3/8 bolt welded to it and it goes through the hole in the sub frame for the stock latch and then i have a bgi washer, a lock washer, and a big wing nut on there its alot better than stock the seat dont move at all it cost me about 5 bucks and an hour of total time i was up there
