Title: Hood spring
Post by: GTRS Fiero on January 11, 2018, 06:20:24 pm

Did any other vehicles use the same hood spring as the Fiero?  I'm referring to the spring that sits on the cowl, next to the primary latch.

There probably isn't a number in the P22 list since it was a part of the cowl cover.  Check with The Driver.  He should have a few.

Most Ace Hardware stores have a pretty good collection of generic springs. You might find one that would work.

Mine is fine.  I'm looking for a new spring to go with a new project.

Of course, no dealer has these springs, whatever they came in.

The hood spring on my Fiero has been off for over a year.  No issues, thus far.

Yeah, but if you get pulled over by the spring inspector you're screwed.......

So, I'm good for 3 seasons, out of 4.

The spring is not needed, which was a surprise to me.
