Thanks Steve, good advice as usual.

I have to tip my hat to the guy that suggested (on another thread) the use of tennis balls under the broken springs. It almost makes the seat enjoyable again. It will surely do until I can do a proper fix.

Any thoughts about replacing the manual seats in the 560 with a power setup from a more modern 190?? They are (hopefully) small enough to fit, but that will obviously have to be verified.
