recollection is there are 3 small holed clips on back of spring top cross rod but forgot how suspended to back frame. upholstery tacked to top rail then covered with hide-um.
check with le baron bonney or classtique shops. |

Re: 1931 S/W Fordor Sedan Front Seat Question
For those of us who have a late 31, there is no wood strip in the metal frame. That is the reason we are asking how to attached the spring to the metal seat.
Thanks, |

Re: 1931 S/W Fordor Sedan Front Seat Question
Perhaps this will help....my 1934 Fordor has basically the same seat as the 31 S/W Fordor...see my attached pics as to how the original backrest is attached using only scrap pieces of original long grain top material wrapped around spring edge and then sandwiched between seat frame and top tack rail.

Re: 1931 S/W Fordor Sedan Front Seat Question
That's how our springs were attached to the seat bottom wood frame, with top material scraps, and now I think we had the same for the back rest plus common metal holed straping clips we made running from the 3 tabs and then tacked to the top edge wood. There were no holes or fasteners in the metal seat back other than those for air circ.and the robe rail.
