Are you talking about the decklid itself or the #5 bow. The cables for decklid release are the emergency release cables used in the event of solenoid failure and attach straight to the latch mechanism. The #5 bow uses the lever and cables as the only method of release. Which do you need. I can have the pics up today.

Just snapped these off. Sorry that many are blurry, but I was in a hurry. If you can tell from these what you need more detail on, I can get some better pics for you.












You probably already have this as it's from the FSM and isn't much help, but her it is anyway:
