Seat spring help.
Redoing the seat for my 71. Got the old cover and foam off and have one spring broke on the drivers side. Anyone know where I can get a replacement? Thanks for any help.

Sounds like Grumpy is going to solve this one but if you like you can just bend your own springs. Upholstery places sell z-springs and coil springs of various sizes. For material you can salvage an old box spring (as in for a mattress) and get lots of spring stock out of one of those. Then just cut a piece that is roughly the right shape and rebend it to adjust using a DIY tool like in the video. Or buy straight spring wire at the hardware store or upholstery supply I'll attach a pdf plan for a couple of similar tools.. between that and the video you'll know enough.. |

Re: Seat spring help.
Furniture springs and automotive springs are two totally different animals . if you sit on your seat and hear crunch crunch you need new springs .

Re: Seat spring help.
Hey thanks I will post a pic of it first thing in the morning I appreciate everyone's help. It's the spring on the drivers side. Looks like it keeps foam from sagging. And again you guys are great!

Re: Seat spring help.
Here is a couple pictures. One is of the broken drives side. The other of the passengers side that's still good.

Re: Seat spring help.
I could use some of those springs also, need all three end springs, two are like pictured and the other is a little different. Any help would be appreciated.
