Buddy Bucket Springs
 
Anybody know where to source new buddy bucket seat springs? I googled up a couple that look similar but have no way to confirm how stiff they are compared to OEM.

I couldn’t find a second bucket seat so had to make one and now need some springs. Thanks ✌️

Yes I did, they said those springs are for old vehicles and we don’t stock them.

Thanks fellas! Between these 2 sources I should be set. It looks like all seat springs are created equally, not seeing any stiffness ratings.

Thanks man, was more work than I expected but when ya end up with only 1 bucket seat the options are limited. 😆

Thinking outside the "spring" box...
What about suspension seating material. Like Mastercraft seats and air craft material? More comfortable option. Mastercraft uses Perelli rubber slings in seat bottom.
