I have looked into getting the front trunk springs manufactured.
I believe there are two different variants, but this is the sample that I gave the guy. Edit: I just want to add, that powder coating these springs will amount to some tension loss. I dont know the science behind it, that is just what the spring manufacturer told me. We would be looking at selling a set for $60. Is this a product that would be of interest at this price point?

I would like a set. But the spring rate is important...A few of years ago I was at Brad Mayeur's with severely sagging springs. He took a bunch of springs he had on hand and kept replacing mine until we had a pair that held the hood up in the third (last) notch.
So, I don't know what original spec is, but if the supplied spring you gave did not match the original you could wind up (hey, a spring term!) with a sagging replacement spring. Otherwise, I'm in for two pairs! Great idea! Paul |
