Trunk Popping Spring

[VossHog]

All,

Wanted to let everyone know that the spring to pop the trunk is a Hillman spring #155.

Other posts have alluded to it being an Ace Hardware item. It is actually part of a box of springs/spring collection produced by Hillman. Hillman's part/spring number is 155.

If you do not have one already, you may have to do some calling around to find it. I bought mine today at a True Value hardware store in Mayflower, AR for about 75 cents. Two Ace stores I visited did not have it in stock.

Possibly the best mod for the money! You folks are geniuses!

Spring off a 'Kindorf or Unistrut spring nut' works great. :2thumbs:

There's some guy on E-bay selling these for $18 + $12 SH - I should be so lucky... :yikes:

For the price and ease of installing, this is one of the best. I used to get off the bike, turn the key and reach down to open the trunk. Now all I have to do is turn the key while I am still on the bike. Don't know whose idea this was, but I take my hat off to him for coming up with this solution.:2thumbs:

This mod works great and only cost me 50 cents! It should have been OEM! It fits perfectly down INSIDE so it's not visible like the other spring mods.
