The originals were 1.75" and the oe replacemnets, that are a 70 hinge too, are 2.0" OD. How many different springs were there? I thought 2. One steel hood and the fiberglass light tension ones. I guess it does not matter but just curious. 1959 Bugeye Sprite 1967 Charger Black L code 1967 Coronet R/T Convert Green 440 auto bought from original owner 1968 Charger R/T Bronze 440 4 spd console AM/FM 1969 Super Bee WM21H B5 A40 D21 N96 1969 Barracuda Formula S 340 Convert pilot car 1969 Hemi Road Runner RM23J D32 Omaha orange 4.10 Dana N96 N85 1970 Super Bee WM23N FE5 V1X 3.91 axle package, N96 1970 Road Runner RM21N B3 V1X D13 1971 MG Midget 1971 Road Runner RM23H GW3, A57 1972 Road Runner RM23P FY1, D21

They're easy to swap.. with the hinge on the car, support the hood, then hook the spring with a fan belt to pull and release it from the front.
