Thanks, Bill. The photo is helpful to show what a mess someone has made of my friend's Victoria driver's seat, but I also need to see the ratchet assembly mounted to the wooden platform. The return spring bracket is present on the back of the seat (although the spring is missing), but I see no hole farther up for the spring to attach. There is a very short spring way up front that is just hanging loose. Someone's idea of "fixing" the seat or is it supposed to be there, meaning are there two springs? From your photo I can see that the front stubby "legs" are also missing.
I'll take photos of what I am working with tomorrow and post them for suggestions.
