1941 seat cushion coil springs

My 60 Special has a few sagging springs and I need a few.

Thanks

Don't know if 41 seat is the same as 40 but the spring design of these seats is amazingly complicated.  Basically all of the springs are different from row to row and the end of the row is different from the middle.  You might be able to swap things around to stiffen it up.  See attached map of springs and their specs.

Check with an upholstery shop. They have suppliers that provide coil springs in all sizes. I restored a prewar porch swing with coil spring seating just like my cars. The upholstery guy found the springs, metal clips, and jute cord to set them in the frame and hand tied them.
