bonnet latch question

[lsixt]

Where does the tension spring for the latch bar get it's tension from?

I only three possible positions:

1) Free wheeling - this can't be right.

2) Under the top sill cover - most tension.

3) Against the front of the firewall - less tension than #2.

I hope you know what I'm talking about. The latch bar has a tension spring with a pig tail (straight part that extends out from the bar). You can't see it when it's installed as it's under the top sill cover in the middle of the car.

Thanks,

Len

Thanks,

After some trial and mostly error, that turned out to work well.
