I need help solving a problem. I have a 1973 914 I've been slowly restoring these past 6 months. the engine lid was missing the torsion springs when I bought the car and I went to install a set yesterday. When I install the springs the torsion pulls the hinge on the passenger side out of wack and the lid won't close properly. If I push on the outside edge of the lid I can force the lid back into position but the springs are putting to much pressure on the hinge assy.. How can i fix this? Any help would be appreciated.
