Seat cover help? Specific question

I am in the process of recovering a set of seats for my '77. On the underside of the foam on the old seats there is a wavy metal wire that gets clipped to the springs. I think that it is called a "reinforcement wire". Where do I get these parts from? The old ones are rusty and brittle. I have the new foam, covers, and install kit. None of these came with those wires.

THEY SHOULD HAVE COME WITH THE INSTALL KIT. I HAVE USED METAL COAT HANGER WIRE IN THE PAST

I'm in the process of redoing mine (purchased from Wilcox) and I don't believe they came with the install kit. As suggested and I know others have done it is to use coat hanger.

Check out the Paragon catalog on p.133 They have a seat rebuilding service and may sell just the spring part you're looking for.
Good luck.

I think I saw what you want in the ZIP or Corvette Central catalogue. Can't recall which catalogue I was thumbing through.
