67 dart convertible trunk torsion spring length?

Well friend... first I must commend you for your most excellent question. I've grown soooo tired of the same questions repeated again and again here, especially those questions that are best answered by a factory service manual. Anyway... I guess you can tell the curiosity got the best of me. Yeah I went out in the dark with a tape measure and a flash light.
So the brackets in the vert body are 1&5/8 closer together than those in a notch.
The vert torsion spring is exactly 2 inches shorter than the spring in the notch.
next post will include a pic showing the vert torsion spring and tape measure ( didn't take the camera earlier, not enough pockets in jammies LOL ).
