To everyone who made suggestions on my weak hood hinges, thank you. Bending down the tabs at the lower end of the springs was what did the trick. They didn't appear to be bent and it only took about 1/2" to bring them back to full tension. So no more broom handle. I was able to bend them cold on the car with vice grips rather than having to beat on them. --Roger van Hoy, '55DeSoto, '42DeSoto, '66Plymouth, '73Duster, Washougal, WA |
