| | | | Joined: Oct 2010 Posts: 42 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Oct 2010 Posts: 42 | I have a 1950 3100 that I'm rebuilding. The driver's side of the seat has suffered from many years of a heavy load and the large coil springs are worn. Example - looking at the middle row that runs the length of the seat side to side, the spring height varies from 6" to 4.25". Several springs are broken.
1) Is there a good reference for rebuilding this portion of the seat? ... can't seem to find anything myself.
2) Where do people typically but these springs from? .... I've checked all the big catalogs (Classic, Jim Carter, LMC, etc.) without any luck.
Thanks.
Newbie

A complete new spring seat, no covering, cost about 1000 bucks in catalogs.
