[Found!] 68 Barracuda rear fold down seat lever spring

[68 CUDA FORMULA S]

So the release lever for my rear fold down seat back in my 68 Barracuda was on the very sloppy side, so I took the seat apart to see why. I found the release rod was bent, the nylon grommet was not in the correct hole, and the lever return spring is broken. Has anyone ever seen these re-popped or might someone have a good one they would like to sell, it really doesn't look like it will be a big deal to make but if it's available I would rather just buy one. The rod is no issue I just straitened it out and it is fine.
Thanks
Bob

Where will this spring be found, Bob? The seat I have for parts may have it in there.

The spring is inside the seat. The rear panel has to come off behind the carpeted back, flip the panel over and the spring is between the release lever and the panel, there is a bolt that holds the lever in place to the panel and it is under the lever.

Put an extension spring in its place. I drilled holes to mount it to the lever & metal panel.

Hey Geoff don't bother looking for that rear seat back release lever spring. I went to the local hardware store and bought some music wire and made my own, it works great. I put a 15/16" bolt in the vice and used the threads as a guide to bend the wire around it and it looked just like the original. Thanks to all who tried to help, here are a few pictures in case someone else needs to make one.
Thanks again
Bob
