I just got the two springs on my 47 Champion a few weeks back. I know I tried them a year ago when I first got them and put them in my tool box. The little I do remember is the coil goes inward and up. It was a trial and error thing with the vice grips holding them. In the end, they worked fine. I hope that helps some. If you still have trouble, I can take a couple of pictures of min installed.

Welcome to the SDC Forum!
The first thing is to be sure that the fuel door is adjusted properly. It should close easily and evenly with no springs on it. The springs are only to hold it shut and open. They work over center.
The easiest way for you to determine how they go is to see another Hawk with the springs correctly installed or at least a picture of same.Gary L.
