I only need the spring itself, not the entire hinge. If you have two, I'll take both as I'd like to have spare in the event the other side meets the same fate. This one broke right at the end as I was closing the hood. If you have one (or two) please let me know. Attach file:   20210701_200804.jpg (183.10 KB) Posted on: 2021/7/1 20:10

Well it's a Packard so there's no Eckler's catalog, but nearly everything for these cars is available. I have never heard of anyone needing hood springs on their own so there are plenty available from parts cars, but no one bothering to post their hoard on eBay, for instance. Posted on: Yesterday 8:04
