I made my own with 1" square tubing. Cut the ends off at an angle leaving the bottom as a tab, where I drilled holes in them for the stock studs to come through, then added a washer, lock washer, and a nut. Then bolted the seat to the brackets. Very simple, lightweight, and inexpensive.

I added a back brace as well using a small piece of square tubing that's bolted to the seat and then a section of a pipe that sat up against the crossbar.
