Well, I did another hood release (For a board member) using a version of 68w/sbc406's version of my install. I was able to complete it in under 30 minutes. I used a flat bar from Home Depot (1" wide and 1/8" thick). Put it in the vice and used a hammer to talk it into the squared "U" shape....leaving the ends a little longer than needed so I could trim them to a perfect fit. Works like a dream with NO spring modification at all.
