I finally found out why it always felt like I was sliding off the bench seat when driving my -69. The left side support spring is broken, and I found a replacement spring at Year One. Now, the description for it says that "professional installation is recommended". I'm going to recover the whole seat, so it should be easy to get to it. I can't see why replacing that spring would be a big deal, but I thought I better ask before I start working on it. Has anyone done this?
BTW, would you recommend replacing any other springs? As far as I can see, this is the only one that's broken, but I figure that it might be a good idea to replace a few (at least on the driver's side) just because of the age. I have recovered seats before, but any pointers will be appreciated!
