Re: Where to get outer bottom seat springs?

Slide one end into the slot on the frame. Use your man strength to bend the other end over to where the old spring was attached. Get it close and use some vice grips to hold the end of the springs together where you're gonna put the clip. Clamp on a clip with some pliers. Whammy. No more butt sag. Now mine doesn’t feel perfect cause my foam is shot but at least I’m not leaning hard to the left when I sit on it.

Mucho Thanks!!!

I have like 4 seats (for my 2 pickups, 1-67, 1-68...LOL) The cushion foam is totally screwed on all 4.
An inexpensive foam repair is the next miracle I'm looking for!!! I'm not likely to pay the $350.00-$500.00 for a piece of foam!!!
