Any insight would be appreciated. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | "seat spring"?
oh ... interiors
that'd need to be a butt weld I think

Specific annealing temperatures and times would be needed to get the spring back to 'springy-ness'. I have seen upholstery shops lap extra pieces of spring on to the broken one using hog rings. Sort of like making a splint on a broken leg. I will also note that I have no idea what a "seast spring" might be!

I have seen lots of different configurations.

There is a splicing ferrel for putting springs together. I have my own upholstery, restoration, and glass shop. Take a look at our website. I also belong the the ATHS here in the Northwest. Glad to help out.
