Parts ID and pic

My 50 3100 has a drivers side vent door. I had a bag that consisted of a pair of hinges and screws and was identified as ‘drivers vent springs” from the disassembly

I blasted them and painted and now during reassembly can’t for the life of me figure out how they go. I got to looking at them and they look like glove box door arm springs.

They are slightly bigger than the glove box ones and enough different that they won’t fit that so they must be for the vent as it does not want to close and stay closed without them but I can’t figure them out. I seem to remember the dissemblly was more than just the vent door. I can’t find any reference to them in the assembly manual or workshop manual so am hoping that someone can send me a pick up of the vent door open and spring loaded hinges in place so I can get them together as it is not obvious to me

On the left in the attached picture are the glove box hinge springs, and on the right the subject vent hinge springs.

Thanks in advance

Re: Parts ID and pic

looking online, it looks like in your first picture you have 54-55.1 glovebox hinges on the left, and 47-53 glovebox hinges on the right.

if you need a drivers cowl hinge send me your address via pm. I was going to scrap this piece I have but if you can use it just pay for the ride.
