KULTULZ Well-known member Apr 10, 2024 #2 The LONG SPRING is to help lower the hood and the CIRCULAR SPRING to help with raising the hood. The PN for the circular spring (raising) is (was) - BF 16812-A The PN for the long spring (lower) is (was) - BA 16789-B Both springs were used on the 1952/1954 FORD. SERVICE REPLACEMENT HINGES came through without the springs.
