Race Drivin'/Hard Drivin' -Seat locking help needed

Picked up a Race Drivin' cockpit and just diving in getting needed repairs to get back running again.

The seat isn't locking into place, figured it was a easy fix. Unfortunately, it appears the electromagnet is missing from the swingarm assembly. I can't seem to find a pic of this anywhere, does anyone have one for reference?

Race Drivin' Part numbers appear to be the following for the bracket and magnet:

046362-01: Magnet Bracket
046361-01: Magnet Pivot Bracket
046373-01: Magnet

Part numbers are different for Hard Drivin' vs Race Drivin', but can't see why they would use different parts for essentially the same cockpit design. If I can't find the part, will have to fab something up.

Help is appreciated.

I found a couple pictures of the brackets on my phone from when I was working on the one at Grinkers. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of the magnet, but may be able to get one tonight.
The end with the bolt/nut through it goes on the long bar under the seat, another bolt attaches the two brackets together, and the magnet attaches to the end with the two "L" brackets. Let me know if you need further explanation.

Forgot to mention how awesome it is to see one with the extra monitor on top. I don't think I've seen one other than the flyer that Atari put out.

Not sure I'd want to add any more weight to the already 750lb beast though!
 
Off to a great start, the photos definitely help! Here's what I'm currently working with, the "telephone coil" wire is still there (male spade connectors in the pic):

Any pics you can share helps. If I can't source one, I may have to fab something up.

Funny you mention the RD cockpit @ Grinkers, playing that one that was the motivation I needed to locate a Race Drivin.
 
Scanning completed listings on eBay, I may have found some pictures of the Magnet Pivot Bracket.

Not sure where the part number comes from, doesn't seem to match up with either Race or Hard Drivin:

I'm almost positive that pivot bracket is for the hard drivin' shifter magnet and not the seat. It used the same mag (but one half was cut off) to lock the shifter between clutch presses.

I agree, that's definitely not from the seat magnet. I'll try and see if I can grab a picture of the magnet this morning.

Here's what the magnet looks like. Not sure what's up with hose clamp, I haven't seen that on others.

You should only need the two brackets I posted earlier and the magnet above to complete your setup.

You guys are good! 046485-1 part number lines up with the HD Shifter assembly.

Thanks for that, that's the first time I've been able to get a clear pic of the magnet. Sort of looks like a cut down ISO?
