Guys,
I need a recommendation on how to upgrade my hood release cable. With the stock/original design (handle for the hood release cable positioned in the upper area of the drivers side footwell side wall), i have had to replace the cable 3 times. Even when brand new, the cable seems like it binds, and has never seemed to have a good feel.
Luckily I had installed the emergency release pull that mounts under the passenger side dash area. It is what have been using since the summer, but doesnt seem like a strong enough design to be the primary mechanism.
A while back I saw some posts about a modification to mount the cable along the passenger footwell side wall. The designs looked like upgrades, with an improved handle and the routing of the cable was much shorter. it was also hidden nicely.
I was wondering if there is a kit for sale to accomplish this. Presumably, I would still keep the back up mechanism.
Any recommendations or photos really appreciated. Not worried about originality, as I never really like the routing of the stock cables.
Thank you
