Window regulator spring

[46HARLEY]

I removed widow regulators 1930 2 door sedan, both springs gone. I purchased new springs and I need help with the installation. Not sure direction of spring on regulator and how to expand spring to reach the tab. Any help or pictures would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Larry

Thanks, but unfortunately mine has just 3 mounting bolt. I think there is right and left handed spring setting ?

roll your regulator all the way up. install the spring so that when you hook it over the hook . the spring will tighten as it rolls down. I use a pair of vise grip to aid in installing the spring.
