Ordered my set today as my hood keeps hovering loosely above my head threatening to drop on me at any moment. Thanks RD!

What about production for the early version pretty please

I will even send you this set if you need them to get the job done

I can get these done, but will the later version not fit on early cars?

Pete

I bet they will but I imagine it's more of a detail thing than a fit issue. The guys with 6's especially want "6" parts on their 6's.

They will fit but are not correct for 70-71 MY

Alright you CCW , if someone can send me one, I will get them done.

I will ship you one tomorrow. Thanks!!!!!!!!!

and as for the CCW comment, I have almost 10K on my -6 since the resto and don't own a trailer

Shipped!!!

Thanks Peter

Installed mine today. What an awesome improvement! Thanks again RD!

I was at Spoke's house today and he showed off his new pair of springs. Worked as new.

Yeah, now instead of the hood dropping and attacking me when I'm looking in the trunk, the hood hits me in the chin on the way up.

It's funny how a retro-fit solution is better than the newer solution where we always expect the opposite. I think the newer hood shocks could work if the geometry was different. The hood shocks on my 911 always push up on the hood from closed to fully open. They are mounted vertically whereas the 914 hood shocks are mounted horizontally.

At any rate, new hood shocks rule.

Awsome,

Early hood springs are availible Thanks RD !!!!!!!!!

Here’s the proof they work perfectly

Just ordered mine. I'm still nervous about installation with no tools.

Ordered a pair - thanks for the deal!

Ordered two sets, Thanks!

Just ordered a set for my '73. Sure hope the installation with leather gloves is as easy as they say. Seems like they'll be under a lot of tension!! Sure don't want a missle flying through the garage!!

Here’s an easy solution and most will have what you need in the garage. Make sure the wire stays on the outside when you hook it so the wire will be free to remove and not trapped between the bracket and spring

Thank you to all who ordered the trunk springs. These will be shipped out on Tuesday.

Pete

Another data point: our 1998 Lexus trunk (using gas struts I assume) doesn’t raise as well as my 914 front trunk that probably has 1970 springs. The Lexus is otherwise reliable, but I guess they weren’t optimizing for a 50-year useful life.
