Gene Horr:
With the seat assembled and ready to go back into the car, I'm not sure how to estimate how much pressure should exist against the padded seat surface... My preference is to have a rather firm cushion to sit on... when my fix on three broken springs was done, I could still move the spring wire with moderate pressure using only the thumb and first finger - I'm sure that the springs are not to be so tight as to require two hands to move them. I was very satisfied with the results of my fix as the seat still has some "give" and I'd suspect that it's again close to its original condition.
