Thanks Trooper. I think my springs are beyond fixable. (Where they're not
broken, they are very rusty.) $50 each is a great deal though. Maybe I'll
call around locally before I spend many hours trying to fix them myself.
Thanks,
Matt

The springs aren't that hard to replace if you have the right tools but
for the money I would recommend a pro. I had mine done for $50 each. I
stripped the seats, blasted the frames and POR15'ed them. Then I took them
to him and I supplied the covers and the foam. He fixed the springs,
supplied the burlap and added some foam. The repo foam just didn't fill
out the seats like I wanted them.

Subject: [Chevelle-list] Bucket Seats
So, I took the old seat covers off my buckets seats and it looks like the
springs are broken in several places. I saw that reproduction spring
assemblies are available, but they recommend "Professional Installation".
Has anyone tried this at home? They seemed to be held in by metal tabs
on the seat frames in several places, but is there more to it? I was
going to recover these seats myself, but now I'm debating if I should
have a pro tackle this. What do you guys recommend?
Thanks,
Matt
