I am in the process of redoing my bench seat in my 46....all the springs are in great condition except they compress to much when you sit on them. (too many hours compressed)...I have not been able to find new replacement springs,so I am wondering if they is a spacer or something that you can insert/attach to each spring to keep them from compressing so far.
Appreciate any insights you can share with me

Once they have lost their spring, they are finished. Best bet is to find some similar and replace them. Some from the middle of the seat are usually good because no one ever sat there.
