hood release cables
after reading about all the broken hood release cables i thought that i should put some thing on in case the factory one ever breaks.i found picture hanging braided wire,9 feet for $1.99 i hope that i never need them.

Just changed out my hood cable. Best $39.99 I have ever spent.
Used to have problems with hood sticking shut. I'd have to fiddle with the lever. Now everything is smooth. No gunk in sleeve. Also that 40-year old stretched-out wire is gone.

keep the old cable and loop it thru the latch,
then just let dangle in the engine compartment, where "you" can reach it.
now you have a backup cable incase the new one breaks.
