I have a lazy hood hinge on the passenger side on my 71 Roadrunner. After pushing the hood to full open position, the passenger side dips a couple of inches. If I close the hood 95%, the left side still hangs about an inch lower than the right side. I'm thinking it's the hinge spring but not sure. Both springs have 19 coils which I understand are correct for an air grabber hood. I will add that both hinges have play in the riveted areas which seems to be more than usual. Does anyone reproduce the AG springs for a '71 RR?
