Is the wooden seat frame the same size of the bottom of the seat springs? had a new seat frame made for my 26 coupe, I didn't have one for a sample so I had a cabinet maker wing it from some photos, never thought about using the springs as a pattern. Setting my springs on it it is about 1 1/2" all way around larger than the springs. Will this cause a problem when I get ready to install a Clasique upholstery kit? Thanks

Why not, after you get the spring and check fit, have the cabinet maker trim a little off around the outside if they can? Otherwise, when the spring is attached to the frame and upholstery is put on it might not look right.

My original 1926 coupe seat frame measures 19" front to back, 38" at its widest, and 37.5" wide across the back edge. Seat frame is larger than the seat spring by about 3/4" all around.
