Looking for a pair of hood hinge springs, the guy who used to make them (Steve?) Does not seem to be around, any one know of another spring that works, alternatives? Also looking for some pictures of the hood bumpers, side, back, front, and the hood hinge spring area, any bumpers? Stops here? Thank you :-\

I think that hood springs have been discussed here before a few years ago and someone had discovered Ford springs that worked. Look thru the old discussions and maybe you can pull the information up or maybe someone remembers.

It would be helpful to know which car you're looking for pictures of. There are several different hood springs used on the various KF products.

:o daaa, sorry 1951 henry J

checking back, if anyone has pictures of the areas specified, much appreciated! 8)
also I have been doing some checking and I sent one of my stock springs off to a spring company who says they can duplicate them, but they only make quantities, wondering if anyone would be interested in a tentative order of some new hood springs? problem is they come out to be about 135.00 EACH :P

Sorry. Here's some pics of the hood bumpers down the sides of the fenders. There are 6, three down each side.
Also the hood hinge springs are visible in the "before" pic - I don't know of a good sub for them.
There are 5 bumpers along the back of the hood itself. They are rectangular block shaped - see them in the third pic.
And there are two height adjustable bumpers on the front of the hood (one on each side) - fourth pic

THANK YOU SO MUCH ;)
do you possibly have one of behind the hood hinge area, near the cowl? is there a bumper or a stop for the hood hinge?
-
Sorry, I had forgotten about this. Here's some pics - one of each side. No additional rubber bumpers there. The "extra" spring is a recommended upgrade, however, the springs I used are too weak to do any good, I'm just too lazy to take them off. Hope this helps.

yes helps a lot, thank you very much for the time! the car was taken apart, and was at a fab shop and things got changed that should not have! :P
