Front bench seat spring question?

[superbeedave]

Hi guy's,
Can anyone help with this little issue I have dealing with the front bench seat in a 69 Superbee the spring/springs that go under the seat for the up and back mechanism. Are there one or two springs and does anyone have pictures or direct me to original dealer pictures of the location of where they hook up to. Thank you, Dave

I have yet to take the back portion apart yet. I’m fixing a few broken springs before putting it back together.

Yah gotta start reading the restoration threads.. all of these have been posted!

That was definitely what I needed guy's thanks! So wonder where might I find the spring that runs from one side to the other and also the hook? I have new
springs for each side but I can never find that long spring. Thanks, Dave

Dave, it's just a hard wire to join the two latches, so when you release on the drivers side it pulls the passenger side loose. What looks like springs are just the retainers to hold the bent wire end loops.

That wire is still on I'm just missing the hook, of course the wire needs straightening out some. Thanks again dadsbee!

Wire is just bent around the latch hole and back with a hump on the end of it.. that "spring" like item then just slips over and locks it in place. No real "hook"!

OR.. are you referring to the eyebolt/hook at the seat frame front that acts as a pulley??

 

[superbeedave]

Yes I was referring to the eyebolt/hook, that's probably why there is so much slack in my wire. I believe I have a hook just like this.
