70 Dart bucket seat springs

[340 swing]

Question my drivers bucket seat base is shot very bouncy. Is there a way to tighten it up or does the spring/frame need to be replaced. Has anyone purchased a frame or springs what’s available new or do I look for a good used one.

I had a couple of busted springs when I restored the bucket seats in my 1970 Dart. Dynacorn actually makes new spring sets for them - just the springs and some of the attachment pieces around them.

I'll get them out tomorrow evening.

Here is a link to a spring set. Dynacorn does not seem to know that 70 Challenger seats and 70 Dart seats share the same frame (different foam and covers).

Before you spend any money, zip tie the springs together in a bunch of different places to connect them all so they share the load better. The more zip ties, the better. I improved the firmness on my seat a ton by doing this.
