Anyone seen a chart or list that shows the dimensions of the available seat springs.

Snyder’s makes most of them. Call them for your needs.

If open car, have a couple of pics like this, don't have dimensions of closed car. What year and open car body style and which seat or backrest spring are you needing?

I don’t know if your wanting a spring for a certain year T or a custom size or for a speedster or etc.

Either way call them and tell them what specific car you have. They already know what the spring sizes for Model T’s are. They have been making them for years or they use to.

Their catalog says they can make any size.

If it’s a custom size send them a pic of the seat frame and back area you want to have a spring made for.
They build custom size springs and they need to know by your explanation what seat arrangement it’s suppose to fit and the dimensions. A picture of the area would help.
