Found "cheap" flip up seat bolster option

[HartlandX1]

My 2007 X1 didn't have the flip up drivers seat bolster.
Tried a couple of mastercraft dealerships, but they couldn't come up with a part number or the brackets.
Took a chance on a pair of seat brackets from Great Lake Skipper.
Only $29.99. They have "strange" price management at GLS. They have 3 different sets of brackets, that all look the same, from $30-$50.
I went with these:
Larson 22113178 Tecla MF2215 Seat Roll Back Fold Up Boat Bracket Hinges (Set of 2)
Sold in sets of 2.

They worked perfectly! Much better than the old cushion I used all summer.

New bracket on top, old on bottom

Installed and flipped up
Sure is dirty! Previously, the bolster was fixed, never saw how dirty it was between the cushions

and in the down position.
Looks like its "off" but that's just the angle I was taking the picture. Everything lines up perfect.
$40 with shipping and WI tax, good money spent-

I dont have that bracket under my seat. How did you cut your bottom cusion into two parts? Really would like to convert my seat to a double like yours.

That was the easy part, the seat already had two separate cushions from the factory. But mastercraft used the fixed straight brackets that cost $0.50 to make instead of the $5.50 brackets!
