<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 2052671, member: 6444"]If you want to continue to use the original springs, you could use eye bolts to replace each of the grommets. Maybe leave the webbing on the top that is still intact, and cut off the torn webbing and replace that portion with eye bolts - that would require fewer bolts and less rework. Either screw in bolts or machine bolts with nuts if you can drill through the wood piece. Go to your hardware store and see what would work best.</p><p><br /></p><p>You also might be able to make Elasbelt webbing work, run cross-wise, each strap stapled on left and right to replace the original springs. This stuff works well, and I've used it to replace failed straps in mid century chairs that had a good surface to staple into. But you'll need to make sure you get a firm attachment for it.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcQY8RizACTVFaUjDGoxUA8f2UUt2Q6Nw9VUGADWvKEUQyuly5rX&usqp=CAU" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcR3taLKaV3C-gZw8KfO3KJNTOP2ZHn5lBsoLvhJHdgCqBLXLp76&usqp=CAU" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcRmNMuDHUftEhwS-m2hcLKusmLvt7e5-BCJ8qNquRpBraXnHpyy&usqp=CAU" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
