This driver-side hinge is a direct-fit replacement (spring not included) that provides durable steel construction for long-lasting support, consistent operation, and straightforward installation. Ideal for restorations, repairs, or upgrades where original-style fit and dependable functionality are required, it helps maintain factory gaps, reduce hood vibration, and improve overall vehicle safety and appearance.
Features:
- Fits 1967-1970 Ford Mustang and Mercury Cougar — left-hand (driver side).
- Stamped steel construction for strength and long-term durability.
- Direct-fit replacement designed to restore factory hood alignment and gaps.

Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 2/5
- Estimated time: 30-60 minutes
Instructions:
- Park vehicle on level ground, engage parking brake, and disconnect the negative battery terminal as a precaution.
- Support the hood securely with a hood prop or a jack and wood block so it will not fall when the hinge is removed.
- Apply penetrating oil to existing hinge fasteners if removing an old hinge; allow time to soak.
- Loosen and remove the bolts or fasteners attaching the old left-hand hinge to the hood and the fender/hinge mount. Keep any reusable hardware if desired, or replace with new bolts and lock washers.
- Remove the old hinge and clean the mounting surfaces of rust, paint flakes, and debris. Inspect mounting holes for damage and correct as needed.
- Position the new steel hinge in place and install bolts loosely at both the hood and body mounting points so you can make final adjustments.
- Carefully lower the hood onto the hinge pivot and check hood gaps and alignment with the fender and latch area. Adjust hinge location as needed before fully tightening.
- Tighten mounting bolts to a snug fit; if torque specs are known use the manufacturer-specified torque. Reinstall or install the hood spring assembly (spring sold separately) according to its instructions.
- Cycle the hood slowly several times to confirm smooth operation and proper alignment. Re-check and tighten fasteners after initial use.
- Clean up tools, reconnect the battery, and perform a final inspection for proper latch engagement and gap symmetry.
