Hood hinge springs. I am searching for new hood hinge springs for my 1949 KB1. Not having much luck and hoping for an alternate spring.

Thanks,

I wonder if any of these springs might work. I suppose you could phone and ask for spring strength or something.

The double arm hinges look similar to IH.

Thanks Nik. Other than the length and width of the spring, the tension would be most important. I really have no idea how to check that. Hoping someone on this site may.

Thanks,

I make the hood springs out of stainless for the K/KB 1 to 5. They are the same dimensions as the factory ones.
