I need help,on where the brackets,with the springs attached,are bolted on to the existing hood hinge assembly. Does anyone,have a picture of how,and where these are attached,and how. I just bought this 46 Ford,and trying to get things back the way it should be. Not familiar with how they should be attached. Thanks for any help.

As far as I know your '46 is the same as my '47. Here's how my hinges are set up - the same as they've been for 65 years.

Hope this helps.
 
Old Henry,Thanks, that is exactly the picture,I was needing. Really detailed,and easy to understand,how they are attached. I may have a problem with the driver's side. Previous owner has a power brake booster right where the lower bolt goes,probably have to do some bending. Thanks,for your help.
