Mystery seat spring?

Post by KWTownsend » Sun Jul 17, 2022 2:49 pm

I have a seat cushion spring that measures abour 41" wide, 16-1/2" deep and 5" high. The back corners are more rounded than the front. Any idea of what years of what body this may fit? Thanks.

Pretty close to a low cowl touring front spring by the looks of it.
Call Snyder’s and give them the size and they can probably tell you. They make all kinds of T springs and have been for years.

Does that tag on the right side tell what it’s for?

The dimensions you gave don't match any of the spring packs that I bought from Snyder's for my 1925 Touring body. :(

Here is the tag:

Your guess is as good as mine.

The spring does NOT have the channel to crimp upholstery into.

No crimping place means it could be a back spring instead of a seat? For a T or??
