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. _________________________ RAY Member Chat Group - Non-Geographical Region Chevradioman http://www.vccacolumbiariverregion.org/ If I had known that growing old would be this much fun---I'd have done it sooner!

Seat is removeable. _________________________ RAY Member Chat Group - Non-Geographical Region Chevradioman http://www.vccacolumbiariverregion.org/ If I had known that growing old would be this much fun---I'd have done it sooner!

cufrcp Backyard Mechanic Registered: 12/17/01 Posts: 225 Loc: Toledo, Ohio	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". _________________________ Chris

CORetiree Backyard Mechanic Registered: 01/07/08 Posts: 323 Loc: SW Colorado, USA	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.
