    Redoing my bucket seats and I hit a snag. Tore my driver seat down. Found I have one spring that is broken that I don’t have a spare for. Both were also broken in my “parts seat”. Might be able to use another spring from another area in the seat and cut it down.
    Anyone have any advice, have a source, or spring they want to part with? Don’t want to buy a full spring assembly for one spring. Last picture is non broken side for reference.

    Think I might can use the center spring from my spare seat and cut it down.

    What do the plastic shims accomplish? Rectangular with oval cutouts two tabs at bottom. I seen em in my seat parts and can't recall the use.
