Wanted:Chrome seat springs for Mesinger sliding rail saddle

[kreika]

Hey all,

Wanted: Chrome bee hive shaped seat springs. Preferably with some patina. Putting them on a prewar Mesinger sliding rail saddle.

Thank you

Do you need 2 lefts / 2 rights / or 1 left 1 right?

Enough for one saddle. So I guess that would be one left and one right. Thanks for asking.

I asked because some seats take one of ea and some seats use 2 of the same Rights or Lefts
So your positive your seat uses 1 right & 1 left. If you get the incorrect springs they won't work.
LML and see if I have a set of 1 & 1
PM me to confirm

@Hoagie57 I've noticed them sold in those combos on eBay and didn’t understand it. Interesting and confusing! It’s all about how they interact (thread into) the circular supports I guess.

100% correct you are @Miq 👍

look at em from the back, you'll see that some are wound opposite each other.

I have a couple bee hive type seats from a 60's Schwinn tandem that I will sell. Message me if interested.

You will always be able to tell what you need by looking at the spring carriage. Photo 1 below is a Mesinger carriage showing two left hand entry points (look closely). Photo 2 below is a Troxel carriage showing left hand and right hand entry points.

Number 1

Number 2

Been waiting to see a carriage with two the same. Thanks @AS-1 !
