I have an 81 300TD, 123. None of my usual suppliers list front seat springs,
and I have many broken. Too many to bother with the "tubing patch" I saw on
a website.
Thanks

I can get you good used seats here in Fresno, Calif but shipping to BFE or Timbuktu may be
expensive.....

Where are you??

I am about 250 miles north of you, near Hathaway Pines, CA, and as luck
would have it, I will be driving a motorhome through Fresno on the 25th of
this month.
Send me an email at
arborigine (at) yahoo dotcom
and I'll send you my main email and phone numbers

Thanks,
Paul,

I'd say keep calling, seat spring boxes are in worldwide inventory
to say nothing of the ones lying around forgotten about.

Failing that a good used seat is your only option. They're not too
expensive.

Try this place. I have an 82 TDT with 396,000 miles on it. I swapped
the driver's seat for the passenger seat about 200,000 miles back and
it's time for new springs and horsehair for the driver's side. I have
priced a lot of dealers and on line places and this one has the best
prices for our model.

My engine has severe blow by and won't start when slightly cool or
colder. It's time for a rebuild. Do you think 400,000 miles (650,000
kilometers) is O.K. life for a 300 D engine?
