I have now posted 4 pictures of the spring on my DeLorean to aid in opening the engine cover. Two of the pictures show the cover in the closed and open positions while the other two pictures show the spring in the "free" position and fully compressed position. I hope this helps some of you out that are having problems with your cover opening correctly. If any of you need any additional information, pictures, details (measurement), etc. contact me privately at tsuyoi@xxxxx Sean Howley VIN#2345 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
