Trying to figure out how the console lid spring goes on the hinge of my 72 Lemans. Spring was broke in half when I got the car and fell off when I opened.

leave it off
it puts a lot of pressure on a good original lid thats not needed

Mine was broken when I got the '68. I never replaced it and don't miss it at all.
I know...that doesn't answer your question..lol

[tjs72lemans]

Maybe I paid $12 for a new spring for nothing then. I thought the lid would rattle when closed with no tension on it. Not?

[Greg Reid]

Mine doesn't...your mileage may vary. Honestly, if I already had one I'd probably use it. I just didn't miss it enough to replace it. I rarely open the console on my car.

I am still interested in how it is configured on the hinge. I've messed with it many ways and can't grasp how it assembles.

Thanks Ransom and Scott. Got it on finally.

You're a better man than I. I tried and every time I got close to putting it in it came apart. I threw the spring in the glove box where it is working just fine.

[tjs72lemans]

I took it back off for now. I didn't like the tension and it seemed to cause the lid to sit different and rub against my newly painted console.
