Jim:
I spoke to John S. at TRF the other day about the TR3 seat springs since I
had ordered a pair when they were first considering offering them. They are
currently putting the seat springs together at their shop. I assumed they
would have them produced/outsourced, but they bought all the material and
are assembling them there.
I too am interested in any replies on the wood. You need 1/8" thick wood to
allow the bend. They take split rivets to fasten to the base, but I think
regular rivets would do. The tacks used are #4, I believe, but could be
wrong here.

I am especially befuddled by the springs in the seat base. I can stare and
stare at them and not make sense out of how they are arranged, perhaps
because several are broken.
Anybody know of a link with some tips?
Anybody know if TRF has the springs available yet?
And, around the bottom where the seat cushion meets the seat back, there
used to be (all rotted away now) PLYWOOD to which much of the vinyl was
tacked. Can someone recommend an improved material and/or method? Plywood
does have a tendency to decompose - after having first held on to moisture
long enough for the metal to rot out, of course.
Thanks,
Jim (digest mode)
