Fiberglass hood hinge springs
« on: October 27, 2005 - 08:55:34 AM »
I need a set to fit a 73 cuda, the hooks must be offset meaning 90 degrees to each other.

do you have a part number to order by?  Is that something you can order online?

Yes, but I'm thinking the hinges for a 70 aar cuda is different than a 73 cuda.  I bought a pair from year one that look the same as paddocks, they didn't fit.  The ones they show in the picture have the hooks going the opposite way.  I need some that have the hooks at 90 degrees to each other at the ends.
