Bench Seat Spring Broken on Curve

[1965c1O]

Mid 70's Chevy truck bench seat.

Drivers side spring is broken at the 90 degree CURVED portion of the spring and don't have any welding tools.

In this video (link below), he uses cable clamps (Ferrules) to re-connect broken springs.

However, don't see how it would work on the 90 degree curve (unless there are curved ferrules) ?

In this post, he used fuel lines to connect the springs at the curves. Is this recommended and will it hold solid ?

Any other ideas ?





Also, is there a way to firm up the entire length of the elevated spring that runs along the drivers side of the bench (as the passenger side feels firmer in general).

Thanks.
