@torfab The brackets are sold out. Any plans on bringing them back? Thanks!

@torfab, first of all, thank you for your awesome work and for your contributions to this community.
Regarding the seat brackets, is it safe for me to go ahead and purchase a set of seats (I have a deal in place) in anticipation of the brackets being available in the next 2-3 months?
Thanks in advance!

Please let us know when the brackets will be available on your website. Just picked up a great pair of seats from an '05 325i sedan; can't wait to get them in!

Would like to confirm that the next batch of brackets will include those for 62s. If not, I gotta start scouring eBay and CL...
I might be. Trying to find some seats first. My 60 is an '85 but I don't know if it is early or late.

i have power seats out of a 07 E92 3-series sedan, and the connector is a big yellow type that some folks have posted pics of except no red/brown wires. there are 2 sets of heavier gauge (~12AWG) wires on a bigger connector in that yellow connector, IIRC the yellow connector has a series of 3-4 connectors. so the 12 AWG wires are reddish/orangish with stripes and 2 browns. i was thinking of testing by sending 12V to these 4 wires but the seats have airbags, i would hate to set them off.

Confirmed. Those heavier gauge ~12AWG wires, red (+) 2 browns (-) are the ones to send power to. The BMW seat upgrade is awsome, compared to those silly stock seats with no support. The brackets can also be used to mount flashlights and tools.
For whatever reason the vehicle side of the harness/connector I bought off ebay didn't have both power connectors + and - side, so I had to buy another extra connector to remove the terminals from. The wide terminals numbered 4, 8, 9, 13 are the red (+) and brown (-) to power, the rest of the wires are easy enough to be removed from the harness.
I have 1 extra frame/vehicle side harness/connector I can mail to anyone who has just the seats. It is missing 3 out of 4 connectors required, but they are easy to buy from BMW parts suppliers, its the ~3mm wide terminal you will need.
