So that would lead me to believe that a convertible spring would not work on a hard...
Ok, my 70 convertible trunk measurement from spring holder to spring holder is 40 1/4 inches, the bars them selves are 42 1/2 inches. it would seem to me that
the 1 3/4 inches extra is enough to circle back into the slots to hold in tight to the slots.

That does make since, because I measured the trunk from supports, and guides, and it is the same, but a few people still believe they are different, may just the 1970 cuda trunks are the same, I don't know.

I found Tension Springs Trunk Hinge Torsion Rods for a 70 cuda, but mine is a convertible, Are they the same as the hard top ones?
If not do you know where to get them, or a modern hydraulic, or mechanical set up?
