Bonnet Cable Thingy
« on: March 23, 2005, 22:06:06 »
Dose anyone know if the bonnet release cable should come with the cable clamp, I brought a new cable expecting it to have a clamp but no such luck.

 Cradock’s have what I assume is it listed as Nipple for Bonnet Cable. Is this what i need? It's the bit that attaches the cable to the mechanism.

 See Pic for cable clamp thingy

If you are not bothered so much with the security side of bonnet release from within the vehicle, you could always fit external clamps/pin kits
Kev

'91 stretch Discovery 200 Tdi
Hybrid for running round (got to go now)
Srs 3 Lightweight petrol (got to go)
Srs 3 Lightweight petrol, runabout

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40

Cheers paul, ill give it a try tomorrow.

Like the idea with the nut and bolt ill have a go at drilling a bolt on the pillar drill at work, bit too fiddly to do with a hand drill.

Daz, had a look at halfords and the bike cables are all crimped on now, will nip up to the bike shop by me and have a look.

Helen, same here, have been putting my hand through the grill to open it but whilst I have her in bits thought I’d fix it.

Thanks for all the advice everyone. :D
