    I can't figure out where all the springs go. The one on the lever is mounted but the one that I guess pulls the seat forward when you pull the lever doesn't seam to fit anywhere without beeing too high. Another duh! moment coming for me I'm sure.

    I can get a picture up tomorrow.

    Its hard to explain where they mount, but keep in mind that the short spring is used to pull against the adjusting lever. So it must mount between the lever and the seat/upper track. The longer spring returns the seat, so it mounts between the seat and lower track.

    A picture will help...

    You needs pics of something, you can always expect Jeff to come through. That's the best Maverick site ever!! (y)

    I might have the springs a little different than factory, but these work fine. These are of the passenger side seat, upside down:
