Where can I get a "seat track retracting spring"?
My 1963 Falcon hardtop with bench seat has one "seat track retracting spring" on the left side. It assists pulling the seat forward after it has been pushed back.

It is different than the shorter "seat track release lever spring" that they sell at Melvin's or Mac's auto parts. See 2nd page at: http://www.melvinsclassicfordparts.c...ages_43-46.pdf The seat track retracting spring is the long spring that is not labeled.

When I pulled my carpet up I found an identical retracting spring attachment point on the right. That indicates to me that I should have springs on both ends of the seat. Does anyone definitively know if the bench seat is supposed to have one or two seat track retracting springs?

The spring that was in the car is the one on top. I will try to use one or the other of the two springs below that I have on hand but would like to get another correct spring if they are available.
