I did a job for a mattress factory that burnt down last year and they made a mattress that used 6 inch springs that would be perfect to make a seat base out of.
It would be very easy to make and possibly cheaper than new foam.
Have you bought any lately?

Just my 2 cents.(too young for pennies)

Very easy to make ..I don't think so... try bending wire and playing with hog rings for a few hours .

BTW 48 215 and FJ Holdens were renowned for having crap seats .... I grew up with them

I wonder why the motor car manufacturing companies all changed over to foam..could be something to do with the time and cost involved with hand made spring seats.
