Need Rear Seat Back Springs

Unread post by glcaines » February 22nd, 2023, 12:38 pm

I'm missing two springs for the back of my rear seat on my M151A2. Does anyone know of a source for the springs, or know of anyone parting out a junk seat? My seat is in perfect condition and refinished except for the missing springs.

No mystery and readily available. A quick search of automotive upholstery s springs or zigzag springs or loop springs will yield many sources. 11 guage or 9 guage is the only question. https://www.albrightssupply.com/springs

I have some from a car seat I stripped for scrap, you can have them if you pay the postage.

Thanks much. I ordered two springs from Albrights Supply. I measured the existing springs and they are .0907 inches or 11 gauge.
