The Camaro Club (UK)

Ok, I know it shouldn't be a problem but it is!! I've bought New Hood springs from the states, and from a reputable UK supplier, I've had second hand ones given and still the hood wont stay up on it's own!! Sure it's easy to lift but why wont it stay up? There's nothing added to it i'ts just a stock SS hood. Am I missing something?

Any advice gratefully received.

Thanks

Russ.

Normally they ping up quite easily especially if they are new. When you fit the springs are they quite hard to get on?

Yes, theyre tight, pliers and pull carefully to ping on there as tight they are, hood is easy to lift but just wont stay up?

My only thought is that the springs are not strong enough?

How to post youtube vids: Click on the 'youtubeHD' button at the top of the message box and in the middle of the ][ brackets that just appeared, copy and paste everything from the youtube web address that appears after the = sign i.e if this is the url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2cNqaPSHv0 just copy "K2cNqaPSHv0").

can you upload some pictures of what you've got? I am happy to compare to what i've got on my '67 and pictures say more than words.
