Broken seat spring.

[Tropicalcats]

Getting ready to alkaline dip, powder coat and re-cover my seat but notice a broken spring on the bottom of the seat. Will a weld hold up on this section? what other options do I have? Is it better to weld after the seat spring has been dipped?

Thanks

I have welded them befor with no issues.  as for before or after dipping   

As long as you clean the are well before welding you should be fine to do it before you dip the seat frames.
