You need to find some spring sets like this.

Obviously originals will be rare but if you measure your frames and post here someone might have an idea what will work (old or newer). You could also post an ad in the Swap Meet, someone might have pick-up springs which may work?

Where did you get the seats from? I'm looking for a middle and back seat for my 42 burb.

You can convert pickup truck bench springs to fit the Burb. seats but, it is not as easy as you think.

The seat frames must be completely disassembled to their component parts.
The lower frames & X members need to be re-sized.
The coil supports must be modified.
The coils must be shortened.
And the top wrap around rod must be fabricated.
Then comes the task of assembling everything back together.

Not very easy to do.... but... not impossible to do.
