I have the 4 bolts for the hinge that have a machined shoulder to allow for pivoting. I can't find what I removed for the spring, is it similar or will a regular bolt do, any help would be appreciated before I make any attempts. With a little help from my friends we lifted the hood into position and now for the next step.
I would rather be late 10 minutes in this life than 10 minutes early for the next
The reason my lady and I have been together so long is because of the kids. Neither one of us wanted sole custody

Upper spring support bolts are shouldered. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 187 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 187 | Thanks for the confirmation, my suspicions were correct, will have to do a thorough search again even though I labelled everything they might have been misplaced
