Finally replacing my lower frunk latch. Bought a nice replated single spring unit from a fellow member, only to find once I removed the original one that it has TWO springs, as @bdstone914 had mentioned.
Is there a functional difference between the two? The one spring version has a tiny annoying set screw (replating has filled the head slot!) while the two spring version has a nice big cheesehead screw. @bdstone914 did you find the nice replated two spring unit you though you had?   |

Moved the smaller second spring and cheesehead screw over to the replated unit.

Yes I found one. The two spring seem to return better. |

@bdstone914
Thanks! Will install the replated unit with scavenged spring and screw (see pic) today. Will let you know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
