P -15 seat spring

[Pablito]

Anyone in Seattle area know where to buy springs?

My front seat adjustment handle has two springs, one left and one right.

One broke.

Thanks,

Paul

Take the good one to a hardware store.  They have many different springs, probably not an exact match, but bet you can get real close.

There is a parts supplier in Pa that specializes in the smaller parts like this that sells high quality replacement parts. Can't remember the biz name now or the city,but someone here will remember it.

Big Thanks guys for the leads.

Found out a trampoline spring seems to fit but now not sure of how many pounds of resistance are required.

This parts searching sure is an interesting aspect of restating an old car!

Restoration Specialties In Windber, PA.  I have dealt with them personally several times and they are always most helpful and friendly. They have a great online catalogue. Good company to support as they are a real help to our hobbly. I am in no way connected to them, just a loyal customer.

Just needs to be strong enough to hold the seat latch in the locked position, not a lot of engineering here.
