74 Coupe Hood Release Cable Spring

I ordered a spring and a new release cable/handle. Can someone post a close up picture from the hood side of the release mechanism and spring. The shop manual doesn't give enough detail and can't find one on the web.

Not sure how much help this is going to be, can't see any of the spring stuff and this is a '72, don't know how much difference there is. Not exactly clean either..

Thanks Kansas. My style is a little different. Here is a photo of my setup. This is the spring Ecklers sent me. It is too long, think it needs to be a 1/2 that length but wanted to confirm before I try to find one.
