1970 FJ40 front driver seat

Hi, I'm restoring the driver front seat from my FJ40 and I need to know how the sliding seat springs are located. They are missing in my and I can't figure it out. Could somebody post a photo of the mechanism, please. Thanks

MDH33, is the big spring attached to the long spring at the junction?

does anybody know if the original springs can be purchased?

No, not attached. the big spring just assists pulling the seat along the sliders.

Probably can find them used or make the cable (it's actually a stiff wire) and find similar sized springs at a hardware store.
