1974 Swinger Trunk Lid Hinge Spring Installation

[tomg45]

I have a 74 Swinger that had the trunk lid springs and hinges removed before I bought it. Does anyone have some pics or installation instructions.It's driving me crazy.


Thanks
Tom

Here are some pics of a 70 Dart. I don't know if they are the same or not. They might be, or are at least close.

One more.

One more install tip. That little "S" clip (seen in pic 3 clipped to the bottom bar ) is supposed to be in the middle to separate the rods and keep them from chattering..

Thanks for pointing that out. I had not noticed that before.
Now all I need to do is change out the exhaust that is rattling on the
frame and I will be in good shape.

My exh was also hitting but only during hard right turns.. sounded like a tire iron bouncing around in the trunk...I thought my rattle was coming from the trunk rods as well but it was only partially coming from those. :thumbup:

Thanks for the pics. It flew together pretty easy.
