Thanks guys; I'm going to go easy on them. If anyone stumbles upon the published values, please post them up!

Meanwhile, time to go for a drive. I installed a new seat frame and horsehair pad a year and a half ago, but decided to leave some foam stiffeners (very aftermarket, from P.O.) that had earlier supported the broken springs. With the new frame and springs, the rolled-up foam cylinders gave too much support in the wrong places, leading to a very sore back.
