ejw71 Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Anyone know where new hood springs are available? Thanks, Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hansen Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 You looking for springs or the hinges too? Leo, said used ones are better than any of the new ones out there. I learned he is right. The new ones I had bought from C.A.R.S. Inc, ended up bending and resulting in some nasty paint chips on top of my fenders. I have original 1st Gen Monte hinges on it now. If it is just the springs yer after, watch out that you don't get the lighter Chevelle springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monteman1971 Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 You can still get NOS hinges from Chevrolet for about $90 each. You can also get NOS hinges from many of the restoration supply house's. I would stay away from the reproduction's as mentioned by Bob. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr70Monte Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 The correct springs are still available from GM, order part #3848272, about $15 each. I just replaced mine with these, they are identical to my original ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
