I have run into yet another little set back. I had sent my original 64 Dodge safety latch to be cleaned up an reanodized. I left the parts wrapped up and low and behold the return spring is now broken. I think the chemical process must have weakened the tension in the spring sure enough it is in 2 pieces held on by he rivet.
So I get another 64 hood safety latch and it is pretty clean but I decided to soak it in evaporrust to clean up the light surface rust. I left it soak overnight. sure enough this spring has now broken. I have no idea what in the heck is going on here.
So I am in need for an idea where to buy just a spring. I checked lowes and menards hardware and no luck. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ski
