[QUOTE=The Art Doctor;2442001]Yes. Bend the spring in your hand and insert quarters or washers between the coils, bend it the other way and insert more, bend it again and insert more. Eventually it will be long enough. When you shut the hood all the washers will fall out on the ground.

Thanks for the response, as I will give that a try. Also, thanks Pete for blowing up the picture.
