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!

Subject: [TR] OT metal springs
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.
