1968 hood springs

I guess this is probably a common issue. The hood will not stay all the way up. It drops down at least 12" from the full up position you can hold it at. I replaced the springs with new ones from Ames with the same results.

Anybody use a shorter or stiffer spring ???

I have even thought about tack welding a few of the coils together. It bugs the crap out of me when it droops down. Earlier I lubed the hinges and of course it even got worse.

Thanks for any ideas.

Larry.
