I found a set of counter balance springs from Don Baxter in Lawerence Kansas. He had some made when he was restoring his '46 convertible. I don't know if he sold them all. I never tried to raise or lower the top on my '47 without them. The lower end is attached to a sheet metal tab on the floorboard' with a hole for the end of the spring. I assume the springs were important because they are sturdy and the top mechanism is designed for them. They make raising and lowering the top, particularly when trying to latch the top to the windshield frame.
