BENCH SEAT (5 OF 8)
While waiting for my order to arrive, I made a few repairs to the bottom seat frame.
The long driver side bolster spring was broken and the short one was missing. I couldn’t find anyone that sold the long one, and I had no luck in the Parts Board, either. I ended up splicing the broken pieces together with some steel tubing and brazing them together. Hopefully that will hold it. I found that LMC sold the short piece so I ordered it from them.

One of the hog ring attaching brackets had broken loose from its weld. Since I don’t have welding capability, I used a small u-bolt to clamp it in its original position.

I also cleaned and lubricated the seat tracks and adjusted the wire linkage so that the seat moves forward and back and locks in place easily like it should.
