Help with hood torsion bars?/cantilevers Posted by Devin [Email] (#2469) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Devin) on Mon, 24 Dec 2018 18:01:39 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Dear All:
I am finally getting some work done to this car over the holiday and I'm having a hard time getting the hood to hang right.
The crossed spring things were missing after it was in the shop years ago and I got some on CL. But they sat in my basement for a while.
I have them installed and I have the hood back on the car. But they're still not working. It looks like the end of the spring needs to catch on something, but I'm not sure what.
Does it need to hook around one of the long mounting bolts to hold tension?
Or am I missing something else?
I can't get it to move enough to hook onto the bolt. There's too much tension on it. So I'm wondering if it's something else. Everything else seems to be lined up fine.
I will try to post a picture below.
Thanks!
Thanks!
