It worked surprisingly well! I was worried that the replacement side spring was going to put too much pressure on my left leg, but that wasn't an issue and I did not have any discomfort on my drive back to Milledgeville this afternoon.

Re: Standard seat... dreaded broken spring

Nice work, that should hold it for now and it looks much better. You'll have a lot more options with the custom seat frame. I used 2 of them for my phantom bucket seats.

Thanks! The biggest reason for wanting to change is the thicker foam and that I can get replacement foam too without having to cut my own.
