Two solutions:
Move the spring rearward in the bracket, giving more distance between the front pivot and the spring location. (I think there is a slot in the bracket, but a new hole might need to be drilled in the pipe at least 3/4" more rearward than the original hole for the spring bolt)
Or you can increase the strength of the spring.
That spring looks about as tight as it can get, so compressing it more might just cause it to coilbind (have the coils touch one another) coilbound springs do not spring, they are hard as rocks.
A heavier spring might work well, but is not stock looking. It would also need a biger top cup to locate it.
Getting a more modern seat with the tapered coil spring behind the pan (look at pics in photo gallery) would also be a great choice. SH seats are much prefered. With new bushings and a real shockabsorber, they are great. (no one but the correct police will care that it is not original because many were replaced and updated). Several springs of various rates are available for the newer seat, and they can be flipped over to protect the cushion from sun. JimN

It was the only
