My concern is how to get a nice looking crimp. I have seen some pretty poor looking crimp jobs on open car and pickup seat cushions. I don't know how Ford did it, but their crimping looks pretty good from the few original seat cushions I have seen. I think the repro springs are made just like the original seat cushion springs from what I can tell.

I kept thinking it was separate,..then crimped,.to seal off the edge..

Okay,..after seeing photos Rusty is CORRECT and I believe the repops are
also correct.
