Default Seat springs for 13 cab

Guys I picked up a Seat frame and several other parts last weekend including a new rebuild carb, overflow canster that now i dont think is correct for a 44 13 cab.
My Question is on the back of the seat frame there are springs and small metal disks, From my count there should be 9 disks and 24 springs, would anyone be able to tell me the size of the disks with 4 holes so i can then fugure out the spring size?
Thanks
Jason

Default So which is suspected incorrect....

..... the rebuilt carb..... the overflow can or the springs for the seat......

I beleive the springs are all the same size only the disc or ring was different...

Default Which ones.....

The springs or the rings.....?


Kiddin' you...... the rings are about 1 inch...... springs about 3/8 in dia.........key chain FOB rings are the right size and are easy to install......

The springs Grant sourced them in the USA ..... comes in 24 or 30 inch length you just cut them to size....... I found some springs at Princess Auto a few years ago..... they were long enough to make two from each spring..... not sure if they still have them........ I will ask Grant where he ordered them from.......

Some where in the barn we have seat frames with the flat disc ..... in fact I think I have seen some that where washers that had been drilled......
we were considering drilling the galvanized circular plugs from electrical boxes as a substitute....... probably could drill some 0.25 cents pieces and they would be cheaper...... but then Rob ordered a bunch of rings from TO hardware wholesaler...... bags of 50 or 100.....

Got some pictures of E brakes to show you will forward seperate.

Thanks Bob for the information and the pictures that are yet to come...lol.
My Plan was to head over to the Body shop and use the press and cut a bunch of disks...but now i am thinking of grenade pull rings...There seems to be no shortage of em around work.
