I sent my hood springs out for powder coating. I need a way to spread the springs apart to get a good coating. Seems to have worked well!!

Did almost the exact same thing back in the late 80's. But instead of the all thread keeping them spread apart, I used some angle iron welded to the two smaller angle iron pieces that you have. Powder coating wasn't around back then, but I had access to electro coating in a large paint bath, so I used that. I'll have to post some pics. Many 914's later, but they're STILL sitting in the garage...on the rack I made back then!
When I finally get around to totally restoring one, I'll use 'em. |
