'59 half-ton, with a virtually new hood latch. I shut the hood this afternoon and a coiled spring fell out, landing on the ground. I don't know where it came from, but the hood now won't stay in the fully closed position. The latch will only hold the hood in that upper, safety position.

It's about an inch and a half in diameter.
Anyone know where it goes? A pic would be wonderful!


A VW guy trying his hand at a '59 LB fs. Lots to learn, but it's about the journey.
