Seat Springs

[Montanachris]

Just wondering if anyone knows what type of springs go into the front sport bucket seats in a 1972 Blazer. I have everything else but need new springs.

They should look something like this. This set is 73-75 but basically the same. My friend added stronger springs to this set when he rebuilt them though.

Those look great so I need eight springs per seat. Wonder if those can be purchased somewhere

And if you don't already know, the factory molded your foam over the springs, you have to cut them out to reuse them with new foam. But I'm sure they're is a source for new springs somewhere. They may just be a little long and require cutting down.

My friend had these laying around, slightly thicker than the originals as he said those were stretched out too much. I'm not sure if he cut them down from something else, but that would be my guess.

I bought my new seat foam on ebay and I'm happy with it. However, it is currently out of stock with this seller and the price went up $100 since I bought them.

Seems like everything is out of stock or over priced
