HJ/Jeep/Darrin hood catch torsion spring
« on: March 23, 2017, 06:59:50 AM »
In search of the the safety catch return/torsion spring. I've been trying to make a few different ones work, and a nice pile collected, but have been more fun to watch chasing them around the garage. I see the base and a latch (to be modified)are available, but struggling on locating the trivial spring.
Regards,
Noah
