Help with seat spring dimensions

Post by Ruxstel24 » Thu Sep 02, 2021 1:21 pm

I have numerous seat springs, some I’m sure are are for a Model T.
Can anyone please help with some sizes of them ?
I’m thinning out stuff that isn’t for a T and hopefully someone can use the T stuff.
I also have what I think is a Center door folding seat, I’ll post a picture of it later.

If no forum member comes forward with them Snyder's makes new ones and surely could have a list with dimensions. They have always been most helpful to me and might be willing to help you.
When did I do that?

Dave

Here are the dimensions of some of the common runabout and touring Model T seat and back rest springs. Hope this helps some.

Here is the folding seat I have.
I think it’s for a Centerdoor, what say you ?

It's similar to my Centerdoor passenger seat, but the bottom hardware is a tiny bit different.
