My hood will not stay open well any longer, the slightest jar to the car or slight wind slam it shut. I guess I wore it out showing it (ha, ha). I have learned the the right and left torsion springs are NLA but the complete hood tube assembly is available. Has anyone had the privilege of replacing this assembly? First off it will have to be painted. I can remember that the trunk bar assembly was a bear to get together I was told. Hopefully this one will be better. Of course hood alignment must be another "problem" on installation.
If anyone has words of wisdom on this fix please I would love to hear it. I have 3 exhaust hangers on order so a few repairs are being performed as the coupe takes it winter rest. Got a nice new dull chrome/chrome oil cap from those fellows in Australia, Precision Engine, and very pleased with its look. Done is the black M cap, hooray! It was temporary - for years. Goes on the M5 son-in-law has.
