Default 1969 Seat Springs

Does anyone know where to get the springs for the 1969 seat bottoms that connect the zig zag spring to the frame. On one end there are long springs and on the other end there are short ones.

Hi Dr,
ZIP Products lists what they describe as zig-zag spring to seat frame connector coil springs.
Might that be what you're looking for?
Regards,
Alan

Alan,

Do you think the short ones are just cut from these?

I'd take one to your local Lowes or Home Depot... when I need them I go to Lowes and pick them up.
