I got the rebuild kit (pins and bushings) for my 1970 convertible from National Parts Depot.

The 69 door is longer and heavier. I replaced my hinges 15 years ago and the doors still close like a new car. You'll really dig it.

I did the bushings and pins with NPD,

My problem is I need just the 'S' spring on the driver side,

Does anyone know if it the same as the passenger?

Ebay seems to have a few for the passenger side but I have not bid until I can find out if its the same spring

Thanks
