The problem isn't that people forgot to replace them after removal. The springs were made of a grade of steel that corroded very quickly and were mounted unprotected in an area that is very moist. Chances are, if you were to dig around in the recesses of the cowl, you may find pieces. One of the hooks on mine was rusted off before 1980 as I recall. I've been tempted to have a bunch of these made since almost everyone with A/C is missing one. However, I'd never recoup my cost. Some folks have said they found hardware store springs that are close, but I've never found one as stout/strong as the originals.
