HAPPY NEW YEAR
SEAT SPRINGS,
Finished removing springs from burlap bags. Tagged the 2 different sizes and marked the final compression height for reassembly.
I found some gutter nails that can be pushed through the burlap to hold the springs over compressed to allow for the bag closing stitch across the top of the burlap then removed.
Measured the dimensions of the spring bag assembly and marked for a template.
Rear seat cover removal completed.
I found that the burlap and cotton batting were hog ringed to the metal side frame and as close as I can determine it was also tacked in place on the top and bottom tack rails.
The front bottom was set in alignment with the base of the front frame and then pulled tight to the top frame and tacked and trimed.
Then the sides were hog ringed to the side frame and trimed.
