FBF, I can't say definitively if the springs are the original ones, but I don't know why they wouldn't be either. The hood is the original non-braced '70-only hood as well, and it's miraculously flat, thank goodness. The spring tension is not excessive, and the hood stays fully open without any droop. I'm sure there were multiple suppliers of springs and the '29' coils on mine probably represent that as long as they met specified tension requirements. My Formula is a Norwood car, if that makes any difference.
