Spiral Hood Springs

RedFish said
Those springs are easier to load with the hood up and proped with a stick. Their combined strength barely holds the hood up. The tension increases as you lower the hood. Hope that makes sense.

Thanks for your message. We tried what you suggested. Been working on the darn thing for the past two hours and can't seem to figure it out.

I've attached a couple of pics with the hood up and down. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
