I bought springs at the hardware store (Homedepot/Lowes)...they wouldn't keep the hood open if there was even a breeze....so I added another skinny spring inside of the larger one (also from the hardware store) and it works perfectly and still looks good too.

I like my prop rod, it always holds the hood up, doesn't add lift to the hood at speed, and weighs less then springs. "Just a Bracket car dressed up like a streetcar"
