Members, I am missing the seat back latch mechanism for my seats. Can someone tell what makes up the latch mechanism. I believe it is the knob, lever and spring? A member on the Dodge Charger forum sent me this photo (2 knobs and 1 lever). Another member said they reproduce the springs? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated? Scott

I was gonna look and take a pic for you today but forgot. Will try to remember tomorrow.
 
Somewhere in the classic industries catalog they have this spring. Unfortunately it's probably $1.99 and $7.99 shipping.
 
Cant really see the spring but you can see the retaining parts

Cant really see much on the other side. The spring is flat and coiled up between the upright and the latch. I can snap a pic tomorrow anyway.
 
Thanks for the photo. I still need the levers. Never thought seat levers would be my last part to find. :) Scott

Thanks for the photos, they really helped out. I looked and the spring is there and it was just dried up.
