Mike,
I have a 1969 also but not a Judge.
I had bought just the hinges from Ames at first and used the original springs but the hood would not stay up. But not the fault of the new hinges. It was my fault I had over stretch the original springs when I went and painted them. Order new springs from Ames installed them and hood stays up without any issues.
I did do a comparison of the new and old hinges and I did not notice and difference between them.
