Default Chair Hold Down Bracket SN6400

When I bought my 2008 SN6400 a couple of years ago, the swivel recliner did not have the chair hold down bracket on it. The 2008 came with a swivel recliner in the space to the left of the main door, by the bathroom door, below the TV. The chair got moved around a lot, and rubbed up agains the bathroom door frame, eventually tearing the fabric on the back of the chair. I had the chair re-covered and want to prevent this from happening again. I reached out to Gulfstream and the chair hold down brackets were locally fabricated by GS and are no longer available. I have asked GS if they have any pictures or measured drawings for them that they could share in the hopes that my friend, the machinist that does a lot of one-off stuff, could recreate them. I have never seen them and have no idea what they look like or how they worked. If any one has these and could post some photos, I'd greatly appreciate it. I have photos of the chair and the holes the brackets go in below.

Brian: If you can wait a couple days, I will take pic's of mine and measurements and drawings and send them to you.
I'll try to do it by Monday. They are just a Black angled piece of steel (painted). Your buddy should be able to crank then out fast. You'll need the screw downs. Just match a bolt to the threads you have.( You can weld on a BIG Wing nut to turn them)

Thanks. I reached out to GS and Millie in parts was able to send me pictures and a PDF of the original measured drawing. You're absolutely right pretty simple device to make. I will post the pictures and drawing when I can get on my laptop later this weekend. Thanks for your help.

As I posted earlier, Millie at Gulfstream was most helpful with this issue. The brackets are no longer available, as GS had them fabricated out of a shop in Chicago,( MCMASTER-CARR SUPPLY COMPANY +, P.O. BOX 7690, CHICAGO, IL 60680-7690, Phone: 6308349600, Vendor part number: G2215K55). She also sent me photos and a pdf of the original measured drawing. This part looks pretty simple and I have a friend who looked at the drawing last night and said he'd be able to get these for me out of some scrap he has in his shop pretty quick. (Having seen the work he does, I'm sure they will be smooth, clean, polished and finished; what he calls scrap, some call stock.) The forum system won't let me post the pdf of the drawing, but if you'd like it, PM me. Millie's pictures are below.
