Upon review of the stock spring setup on the bench, I think it could be improved. I am going to see if I can work in some "zigzag" springs that the modern seats use - i really dislike the springy feeling of the stock bench, would like something with a firmer feeling.

I believe those zigzag springs could be used, as long as you can get enough that are long enough to go front to back of the frame. This is how the 73-80 seats are. see pic. Just weld them to the frame along the front & back. I think it's a really good idea. Or get a new grid from USA1 Industries. I haven't gotten one yet, but I would bet they are a bit firmer than the 30+ yr old ones. I came across a salvage seat, that I swore had a newer grid. And It was tighter & firmer than the others. So that could be an option.
