The first four pictures detail the cable and how I wired it to the opening latches and the last three show how it cannot be seen with the hood closed unless you know where to look.

Sorry the pics are so blurry but I think you get the idea.

Thanks LeesVette.

That is a great idea....I think I'm going to rig up something similar...
I was thinking (uh oh) why didn't the designers build in a latch or something to keep the cable seated in the notch? It seems like it was very easy to knock it loose when I was getting at the clutch reservoir...Unless the major problem is cable failure...

Oh well,
Thanks again for the pic's...
