Kevin,
The two springs came with the wing as part of the Volvo kit. I wish I had a camera as it would be clear as day, but I'll attempt to describe as best as possible. The springs are about 2 inches in height (including hooks) and about 3/4 of an inch in width. The tops of the springs should hook into the bottom of each trunk hinge (close as possible to the trunk shock) without needing to drill a hole. On my old '82 (RIP) I can't remember is it is the same setup as the '86-. You will need to drill two holes into the two pieces of metal that rise above the wheel wells. You should be able to pop the bottom spring hooks into the drilled holes. They don't have to be perfect but when you have the trunk fully opened the springs should be compressed. Not sure if this helped...sorry for the lack of a digi. If I can find a pic I'll post.

Best,
-Adam
