    question about seat springs

    This winter I'll have my driver's seat bottom rebuilt (after only 46 years of service). I bought a new spring box from Einmalig...a very nice piece. My question is: to prevent corrosion should I paint, coat or otherwise treat the spring box with something before assembly?

    many thanks!

    It really should not corrode if it doesn't get wet. You can spray it wih WD40 which should stay on for the next 40 years with the added benefit of reducing future squeaks. You can powdercoat them (see my seat rebuild thread), but that's really overkill. I only did it as I reused the old seat basket and had to get the rust blasted off to begin with.
