Re: [T3] Broken seat spring

I've had a couple of seat-back springs break on two different cars (both '71 I
think) - on the seat back shoulder; the end usually pushes out through the
fabric to tell you it's broken!  This is on the low-back (UK) seats of course.

Oddly, both of these cars had an identical small crack in the same place in the
speedo plastic 'glass', just near the centre trim disc.  I also found another
similar age speedo that had done the same - also marked 04-'71, ISTR.
