Wanted seat spring

Hi does any one have a seat spring or two please I have an incomplete broken one and a snapped one that I might be able to weld ( read find someone with a welder and look helpless )
if any one has a donor seat with them on it would be much appreciated
Thanks
Al

 

i had one until a few weeks ago when someone came on and asked the same....i gave him the whole seat base for free.......you watch, i'll get a bosted spring up me jaxy now.....

 

Hi Rickyroo
Who did you give it to? Perhaps I could pm the to see if they could spare one
Hope you dont get one up the jaxie

 

Anyone?

 

It may help if you post up a piccy as there are several types of spring in the seat (couldn't see a pic)

Also, you cannot weld these sucessfully, they'll just break again. That said you could get hold of some brake pipe and small U clamps and repair this way, was an article in practical classics many years ago

 

Thanks mattp , I will take some photos it's the spiral spring from the base of the seat outside edges
Majorhangover thanks
I will take it out and try a restorers

 

i have 2 ole seats with springs owen nw

 

Hi I can't seem to PM you so I'll pop it here

Thanks for the reply, I ideally need 2 of the spiral springs for under the area of the drivers thigh if that makes sense
Would you be willing to let me have two and at what cost
That said I'd hate to see seats busted for spares if anyone else could use them on here but if they are beyond hope I guess it's ok
Thanks
Alistair

i ll get them out for ye chairs hammered owen nw

 

posted 2 of each for ye owen nw

 

Received springs and had a good look last night but gutted that they aren't the same, mine are 73 apparantly squareish seats, the springs are coiled into a circle at one end and the other seems to unwind and end in a straight section, this then locates in a tube o the seat base, is this normal? Does anyone have spare springs of this type.
Will take photos at weekend

 

Hi Mate ! i've been looking out for this thread . I got a seat base off My Old Mate Rickyroo ;D . The base and springs were slightly different to the original ones . If you can post a couple of pics of your seat base i can tell you if i can help you . Some base like the one i got off Rick have a metal frame underneath if this makes any sense and the older 72/73 ones don't and are a bit different . I reckoned that if the springs were the same length and width roughly then they would be ok . Anyhow post a couple of pics and we'll see how it goes . cheers mate Mick 8)

 

if them ones of mine aren t any good just post them back owen nw

 

Hi Shielsy, I'll send them back if they can't be made to fit
Mick here's some pics

End of spring showing how coils straightens out to fix to base

Underside of seat spring hooks into a tube and is clamped with a bent over spike

Has any one else got this type of base?
Or any idea how I can attach different springs
Thanks in advance
Alistair
