Yes I got a new hydraulic pump and hoses from them but they no longer carry any springs. I did find another solution though. I found 2 springs on Amazon that when put together pretty much replicate the size and tension. The cloth covering mostly disguises it. Here is what I bought...

I have a '47 Mercury and one of my springs broke that is for the top. I have not had any luck finding a place to buy a replacement. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have a '47 Mercury convertible and need to replace the upper spring on both door latches. I am not sure the best way to remove the broken one and install the new one. It is held in place on one end by crimped metal tabs.

I am in the process of getting a 47 convertible and it is missing both upper front fender chrome trims. I am sure this is the same part used on other Mercury models but not 100% on that. I need to buy them so if anyone has them that would be great. If not then I need the part numbers for...
