Questions: 1.) has anyone had experience replacing individual coil springs in a seat cushion? If so where did you find the springs?
2.) Would it be better to just replace the whole seat cushion? If so is there a difference between Snyders and Brattons cushions.


Other options?

Snyders is the manufacturer of seat springs. The diameter size of the wire in the spring is not the same diameter as original. You ill not be happy replacing one coil with a reproduction coil. I have many broken original springs that we 'pirate' springs from when we are restoring original springs. Ask local club members if they have an old seat spring laying around to get one from.
