[Chrysler300] Zinc plating 300C bonnet latch

["henry.schleimer" <henry.schleimer@xxxxxxxxx>]

I had my 300C bonnet latch zinc plated along with a bunch of parts.  The zinc plater said it wouldn't affect the springs despite my concerns about making them brittle.  Saves a job trying to pull it apart.  Got around to fitting it today and after a few attempts to get the pin length right everything was perfect.  With the bonnet latched, about 15 minutes later I heard a loud PING.  The spring that pops the bonnet was laying on the ground in two pieces with neat brittle fracture.  Lesson learnt the hard way.  Anyone got a spare?
