Seat Spring Repair

I had two broken springs on my seat both right in the corner. I looked for some repair ideas but came up with my own. I found some 1/4" tubing with a 3/16" ID which fit around the spring wire. I cut the spring back so it was just straight sections and I bent up the tube 90 degrees. Then I filled the tube with epoxy and slipped it over the spring wire so that there was about 1" of bond. I jammed a piece of wood in between the top and bottom of the seat to spread them apart while the epoxy cured so when it was removed it was under slight tension. I waited for it to cure and removed the wood. It feels pretty even now. I just thought I'd pass this along if someone else had the same issue.
