hi guys; i did a search,but cannot find any info on this. is anyone reproducing or know where i can find the big tension springs for the bucket seat tracks? i got a set of bucket seat cores for reupostering and the tracks were missing the big spring on both of them.

thanks, dave

Pretty sure there is only one spring per seat.
it will be on the outboard track

I've never seen anyone that sells a repo spring. I'd check the local hardware or even big box store. Doesn't have to match exactly, just has to return the seat. Nobody will be able to see under the seat track anyway.

A clutch return spring will work also.

I had one missing when I bought a couple of buckets and like the guys said, I went to a local hardware store and found one that matched pretty close and it works fine. Also nut and bolt suppliers will have springs also.
