[:@] Hello everyone, I have owned my 1985 vette for 6 years, all original except tires and wheels, excellent condition, 61,ooo K LOVE IT will post a picture as soon as I learn how being new to your site very glad I joined. Of course just being new I have a question, does anybody know how to change the Handle and two cables that operate the two hood latches? Adjusted the cables today after finaly getting the hood open but they must have stretched over the years each cable is adjusted to the end. Also were can I buy the cables and handle. Hate to go to a dealer probally cost a fortune from them. Hope somebody can help. also glad I found this fourm!!!

 

Eckler's, Corvette America, MidAmerica Corvette. Chances are if Ecklers has them, the dealer does and the dealer is usually cheaper than Ecklers.

 

Thanks mech 259 Do you know if changing handle and cables is difficult?
Thanks again Richard

 

also, Zip Products has always done me right.

 

Well, it's not the easiest task there is, but with a little patience, it's probably a 1 - 2 hour job.
