Over all the spring is the same length. It doesn't really matter much that the 'spring' part is an inch shorter since it's made from smaller diameter wire.
Washing machines pretty much come in a standard size but swimming pools can come in all kinds of different sizes and shapes so.....it's not an easy thing to do. :D
I used springs from a local hardware store. I just guesstimated what I needed....
No problem with the hood that I had on my 66 Belvedere sticking up in the back.....also lost the 'popup' spring when I put the glass hood on it. The fast pin is a good idea but didn't want to do that.
Reshaped some ornamental glass using 36 grit but did it by hand and even that created some heat but didn't break it. Used 80 grit next and so on. Lots of time spent on that mess....
Never liked using a slim Jim/hanger stuff but maybe you can get up there through the drain hole in the bottom? I did that once on a car but don't remember what one it was.
I also found out just how much of a tolerance these cars have lol. In the early 80's I had a really nice 70 Challenger 383 4 barrel car and also had a 70 Challenger 440 RT rag top. The vert ran good but the plum crazy paint went crazy and it needed a paint job. Also bought a NOS rear tail trim...
My place is full of trees.....live oaks don't shed until spring time and there's several in my yard along with the oaks that shed in the fall. And with the dry summers lately, they all lose leaves. I'm always blowing out the shop but not so much this year. RPITA
I've seen that lots of times...
