Center Door Driver Side Seat Back Springs

Post by Rich in Colorado » Fri Sep 24, 2021 5:55 pm

I'm putting a upholstery kit in my 1922 Center Door. The kit is designed for both front seats not to have springs in the back of the seat. My driver side does have springs. The original upholstery was covering the seat, with the back of the seat springs there. The passenger side seat doesn't have back rest springs.

Did some center doors have springs? I would think it was from a different car, like a '26 or '27 Tudor but the original cover is strange and the base is correct.

Ideas?
