Anybody replace zig zag springs in seat?

[kat]

A couple of my zig zag springs broke and are hanging down. I see where I can buy a roll of these but was wondering how they connect to the seat frame. This is the driver side and was wanting to get my ducks in a row before taking it out so I'll have minimum down time. Thanks

On bronco and mustang seats the driver side takes a beating over the years I would just try to buy a new seat bottom haven’t heard of anybody selling a zigzag springs on one of my mustang seats I got a passenger side and converted it to be a driver side change the pivots way too much work

I had an amish guy do my seats, fixed some of the springs and reupholstered them for $150.

I think the springs are held to the frame with little fold-over metal tabs. You could probably replace those with a little piece of flat-stock welded or riveted in place.

There are a few places to buy them. Alot are for furniture which I think should work

Any decent upholstery shop will have these. Used to rebuild seats from all kinds of vehicles with regularity. Common upholsterers stocked item.
