I have never bought any springs but Snyder's started out manufacturing springs so they might know what their doin'. http://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/history
From your picture one of your problems I can see is it appears you have your seat installed sideways. Last edited by Y-Blockhead; 03-14-2015 at 02:36 PM. |

The biggest "issue" I have with the Snyder's repro springs is they really are not 'exact' however they are the best available. The coiled wires are not the same diameter as original so they do sit a tad firmer. Again, most folks don't know the difference so they are fine. |

Re: Best Source For '30 TS Briggs Seat Springs
Thanks for clarifying that Brent. Like I said I never bought any of their springs... And I'm one of those "folks that wouldn't know the difference", haha.

Brent, what's your thought about unpainted vs painted springs (Brattons are dipped/painted). Our weather here is like a rust incubator - salt air, humid and hot.

Re: Best Source For '30 TS Briggs Seat Springs
I found that there may be a vast disparity in the price of springs from one vendor to another. My suggestion would be to price these from several different venders and opt for the least expensive. As most folks have related, Snyder's makes virtually all of the new spring sets, so there should be very little difference, if any, from one vendor to the next. Good luck and happy hunting.
