Title: rear seat floor latches
Post by: Macgraham on March 28, 2013, 02:16:05 PM

I took my latches apart and all is salvageable but 2 of the 4 little leaf springs. I'm guessing you can't get these without buying the full monte. Any suggestions :-/ :o

Maybe call up KW and see if they have one.  

McMaster Carr or Grainger probably has something that would work. http://www.mcmaster.com/#compression-springs/=m2tr5k

Sorry for the false alarm. I took the distributor cap springs from a junk 4008 and filed them down a little. Works just fine and you can't tell which one I fixed. May be helpful to someone in the future.
