[Bricklin] Small spring on hatch latch

[Scott Isensee]

I think you are talking about the spring that raises the hatch. When the latch opens, that spring pops the hatch up enough to get your fingers under it to pull it up. I have never had to look for one, but I expect most of the Bricklin parts vendors have them.
