hood latch, not hinge, springs

Post by 71 green monster »

Has any one looked into replacing the hood latch springs on a '71/'72? I've had two of the upper springs break which resulted in the hood coming open while driving, not fun.

I had my latch all apart to get it powder coated. Springs aren't difficult to take off. Just take pictures first. Can you buy replacement springs?

Looking for replacement springs was the reason for the original post...
