1954 ford convertible Hood Hinges
 

what function does each spring do on a 1954 ford convertible hood hinge
there is a long spring and a short clock like spring

Re: 1954 ford convertible Hood Hinges
 

The LONG SPRING is to help lower the hood and the CIRCULAR SPRING to help with raising the hood.

The PN for the circular spring (raising) is (was) - BF 16812-A

The PN for the long spring (lower) is (was) - BA 16789-B

Both springs were used on the 1952/1954 FORD.

SERVICE REPLACEMENT HINGES came through without the springs.

RH - BA 16796-A
LH - BA 16797-A
