Hi, John.B  When I took my seats apart to restore them, the springs were
rusted and the back quarter were unrepairable.B  I laced old bed springs in
with a hog-nose and clips.



To take care of the rust, I sprayed with phosphoric acid until the rust was
neutralized and turned a hard gray color, then rinsed thoroughly.



As for paint, I went with POR-15.B  These are original seat springs that will
now live longer than I will.B  Did the same for the pan and seatback metal
also.
