Re: seat spring?
That spring goes about half way between the ends of the seat and holds the 1/8" bar up (runs from track to track) so it doesn't sag. Does that make sense?
It looks kinda too long, but hard to get an idea of the size with no reference.

Re: seat spring?
Sooo...it goes in the middle of the seat?..holds up the 1/8 bar...no sagging...ok..then it has nothing to do with the sliding of the bench, forward or back...except as you mention keeping the bar up and clear..thanks..makes sense...I will try it and find it's proper place tomorrow...70

Re: seat spring?
The spring pictured goes on the seat as an assist to pull the seat forward when you work the seat adjustment. It hooks to the seat track and the seat so that there is tension on pulling the seat forward. It can be seen in Dan's picture on the left.
