I'm restored up to the interior, and need seat springs or info. Are the seat backs part of the trim on the body?

Hi,

I have had very good luck by measuring another car or an estimate from your car, and then take the measurments to a F**D vendor and check against his size list.

One upholster refused my new springs and proceeded to make the springs from scratch and a perfect job. So you can check with your man and see what he wants.

Seat backs are permanent. Seat is removeable.

I will need new springs once I decide to tear the car apart. I have a friend that had his seats in his '23 rebuilt with foam like the new cars use. Part of his reason was for the comfort of his older father. His upholstery guy used 3 different densities. He does claim that the seats are very comfortable and they look great. Heck, after a longer drive in my car, my back hurts and I'm a "young guy".

The previous owner of my 490 couldn't find rear seat springs so he had a new cushion made with very firm foam. Looks stock and it improves the ride back there. It's also lighter.
