[TR] OT metal springs

[wbeech]

If you can find a good ole local furniture store that carries office
furniture they can probably come up with something from available
replacement parts.  They may be able to help or find a complete new unit to
go under the chair.

The car is in a 'zillion' pieces... but I think about it every day!

Pathetic attempt at obligatory Triumph content:  

As I read my Triumph e-mails in my study, I sit in a massive oak swivel
office chair that was old when I bought it from a lady in a nursing home 35
years ago, when I was a freshman in college.  I love this chair.  

The springs under it have broken.  They are 1/4 inch diameter wire or spring
steel or whatever.  They are about 5.5 inches long, and the spring itself is
about 1-5/8ths in diameter.  

I went to HD and bought a couple of stainless springs that fit, but were
only about 40 pounds apiece, and they were much too weak to hold the back
when I leaned backward.

Any ideas where to source these?  Honestly (English major here) I don't even
know what to look for!

Thank you everyone for your patience here.
