I only ask this because my spring on my catch plate snapped so my hood didn't lock down into place.....and I couldn't just replace the spring....the whole unit that sat in the top of the grill had to be removed....I found a really good one at the bone yard and took it home and cleaned it with a wire brush and then treated it with a rust treatment primer...the spring is in excellent condition and should last for 80 or so years.....but I checked all after market places for one and none are available.....what other parts are no longer available?
