Has anyone compared quality and pricing for the seat and backrest springs for a Model A?
I plan to purchase new springs for a new leather interior kit for my 68C.
Thanks

I don't know of anyone other than Snyder's reproducing the seat springs. When you compare them to original I've read that they are a bit stiffer. Of course most of us are fatter than people were in the 30's, so maybe it balances out.

Also, maybe the originals which seem less stiff or just broken in, so to speak?
