Need the rear seat spring measurement for a 21 touring.

Can anyone measure the rear seat spring for a 21 touring for me please. The used spring I bought seems too big and after upholstery it does not want to fit. It is about an inch too much forward. It fit without upholstery. The parts books don’t have the measurements.

Would anyone have the right spring for sale?

Snyder's mfg. all the new seat springs, the cushion for the back seat '16-'21 is cat.# TS 7029. You could call them for the correct size.

This graphic was in a club magazine years ago, think it is correct. Could be your upholstery is stuffed more or the backrest upholstery is holding it forward and may need adjusting.
