I have a Tamaraz hood, all fiberglass, I have original hood hinges and springs from all steel hood just wondering if these will work

yup thats what I use on my all fiberglass w-25 hood. it opens and closes just like the steel hood did w the steel hood springs

I bought those springs, and they weren't strong enough to keep my hood up. Don't understand why, so I used the original steel hood springs, and they worked perfect.....

hmm thats odd is your hood an original w steel frame or all fiberglass like a glasstek?

hey buddie if they are the originals in time they can crack a fiberglass hood and that is a expensive mistake to make in my eyes. I say buy the lightweight ones and get a hood prop also and use a long long screwdriver to slide the springs on and off. I have the lightweight ones on my ride and use a hood prop also my originals lifted the hood almost a qter to half inch above the fenders and the fenders cannot go up either the crowns then can be off.
