Seeking a hood release lever

[mrbill426]

To fit a '72 'Cuda.  Mine is okay except the little coil spring on the pivot pin is broken, and of course the (special) pin is bucked on the small end instead of just having a nut; brilliant.    I think this lever differs between the years too.  I could try it fix it but I dunno

I'm in the same exact situation. 
There has to be a way to replace that spring without re-engineering the darn thing.
Luckily, a member here has one I believe to be a match, along with the hood latch/lock assembly.
I'm sure someone here will have a spare to get rid of.
Good luck on your find.

Yeah, the rest of the assembly is pristine.  I have seen sold (new) alone the yoke, latch, pop-up spring, and the whole unit... but not the lever.  What the hell? 
I'm in no hurry, we're still doing quarters and floors, but some day.

Keep an eye out and keep posting. One will come up.
Good luck.
