Frunk latch spring

[Sh0ty]

Hey Aaron, do you know if you can get the spring that goes in the frunk latch (MKII, '93) and if so, how much it costs?

Thanks!

i was just wondering if you are talking the spring to push the hood up when you hit the release? if so i need to get one of these for my mk1 89

you can order from a dealership.

the whole assembly is just under $40.

I'm sure the spring would be much less.

Sure. There are two springs. The big one that actually holds the latch closed is 90507-20027 and your cost through me is $3.35. The smaller one on the outside release lever is 90506-09052, and it is $1.39 through me.

The big one that holds the latch closed is 90506-20043 and it is no longer available; the smaller one on the outside release lever is 90506-09029, and it is $3.02 through me.

In a manner of speaking, I am the dealership - this is our vendor forum. Our store (Lithia Toyota of Springfield, OR) gives a discount on parts for MR2 owners, and two of us in the parts department here own MR2s.

For what it's worth, I think you've been given either some bogus information or some very old pricing. The whole hood lock assembly on a MkII lists out at $53.84 (and most dealerships sell their parts to the public at more than suggested list price). Our price to an MR2 owner would be $42.08.

hey arron, i got my clutch cyl's and they look great thanks man! as for the spring, i open the frunk from the car, then i have to like wedge the hood up with a screw driver. is there a spring replacement to push the hood up? thanks man

You say this is the spring to hold it closed. My latch holds the frunk closed just fine, I can't get it to spring open though. I thought the spring inside the latch assembly (holds the two plates together) was responsible for pushing the frunk up so I can lift it. Right now I lift the headlights to reach in the hood and pull it open so I can reach the outer release lever (also missing it's spring, but no big deal). Do you know what part I need then?

Whoops. The big spring pushes the hood open.

That's what I get for relying on memory and the EPC rather than going to the car and taking things apart...unfortunately I don't always have time to get dirty...
