Broken Seat Springs
Hey Guys,
After removing the foam (man that was a job) on my son's '69 Bucket Seats, I found that the three springs on the seat back were broken where they attach at the bottom. Since just the tips are broken, can I stretch the springs enough to re-attach them? It feels like the spring tension would get tighter and make the seat back firmer. I have looked for new "S" springs, but couldn't find anything. Anyone replaced Bucket Seat springs before, and if so what did you use? Thanks, POP

Re: Broken Seat Springs
It would make the back firmer. If it were me I would do all of them so it doesn't feel different or have lumps. Most of your furniture repair shops will have the back springs that are in your seats.
