Losing storage, so time to recommission our sleeping '71.

Searched, but did not find answer.

In all these years, has anyone discovered a replacement for the front hood springs?

Thanks.

The problem is if you want to restore you car to primo and powder paint the springs, no one sells any springs as exchange perfect sets. They need to be done on jacks that would extend them so the powder paint would get all around as they are done and put into the oven. I spoke to Bruce on this but they still is no set person that I know that we can get these from at a set price as perfect black springs.
