I am writing to ask for advice on how to install a new bonnet release
cable on my wife's TR250 so it lasts this time.
I think I must have installed the hood (bonnet) release cable
incorrectly last year. Symptom is: Handle and cable pull out about 6
inches and release is barely activated. The engine compartment end of
the release cable is secured to the release unit.
I just ordered new inner/outer cable assembly, as well as new bonnet
release unit (the locking unit on the firewall), and want to install it
right this time. I also ordered the auxiliary "emergency hood release"
cable from Moss, as a backup.
Any "hints from Heloise" would be much appreciated. I sure hate it when
the cable release failed a year ago and I had to remove the headlamps,
the bonnet hinges, and take the entire bonnet off to get the darn thing
open again. I nicked the new paint in the process, too.
Thanks for any help!
