acasey64 Posted August 15, 2018 Posted August 15, 2018 I need to install these springs on the hinges of my hood (1949 Chrysler Windsor). Could someone show me a picture of what it looks like once installed? I also welcome any advice on how to install the spring. I believe I know where the spring goes and I indicate it on the picture.
Dodgeb4ya Posted August 15, 2018 Posted August 15, 2018 here are pics of an original hinge . Your hinge has been incorrectly repaired ( bolt and nut).These hinges are very hard to find in good condition and hard to re-rivet as factory so they work properly. It's very common to find 1949-50 Chrysler hood hinges that are broken or the hood won't stay up/ close or open correctly. Tightness of the Stepped rivet pivots is critical for the hood to open and close properly. Good luck?
desoto1939 Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 There is a special factory mIller tool that is used to remove and install the hood springs. The C-875 tool is the correct tool. I have this tool. Rich Hartung
