Buddy Bucket Springs

Anybody know where to source new buddy bucket seat springs? I googled up a couple that look similar but have no way to confirm how stiff they are compared to OEM.

I couldn’t find a second bucket seat so had to make one and now need some springs. Thanks ✌️

Yes I did, they said those springs are for old vehicles and we don’t stock them.

Re: Buddy Bucket Springs

Thinking outside the "spring" box...
What about suspension seating material. Like Mastercraft seats and air craft material? More comfortable option. Mastercraft uses Perelli rubber slings in seat bottom.
