Barry, you should be able to replace the seat webbing directly with new
assemblies. That wire is a U-shaped piece that the rubber straps wrap around
before being sewn to themselves. In the middle of the wrapped portion is a
hook, which pops through a hole in the middle of the strap wrap. This in turn
hooks into corresponding holes in your seat frame. I'd try Moss, as I had bad
luck with another vendor's interpretation of the correct size of the U-shaped
wire (too wide), but Moss's was correct (for my 'B). The strapping stretches
out pretty good over time (hence that sagging feeling) and is worth replacing.
