Other than acquiring more NOS parts and a little work here and there, I’ve not done much on this car recently. Today, however, I decided to get busy and remove the seat upholstery that SMS says they need for some reason.
In the process, I discovered that the rear frames are not usable as they are with the cushion having much rust around the lower front and side piece and the backrest having a broken rod. To fix these, is it better to get complete replacement cushions or is it possible to just replace the bad pieces?
Seat cushion lower rail
Backrest rod with broken rod
Should have a loop at the end
Also, the backrest had these springs in the lowermost corners. Is it one spring rusted apart or two and how do they fasten?
