Anyway, this guy is also a sports car enthusiast so he was more than pleased to put his engineering and rigging skills to good effect and came up with a solution using 2mm stainless steel wire which is looped and crimped and is MUCH stronger than using a crimp tag, a stainless steel nut and bolt rather than a pop rivet at the head rail end and a miniature stainless steel cable clamp for the other end. All in all, a superior solution with no corrosion issues for the future.
I don't know how much of a problem the hood tension cables are, but the guy is willing to make up sets for Forum members. This will consist of a pair of cables with crimped loop, nuts and bolts and cable clamps - all in stainless steel, plus cable end finishers.
No idea of price at the moment but I would like to gauge interest in this before perhaps starting a group buy.
Please can members register their interest on here and if anyone knows what the stock replacement cables cost, that would be very helpful.
Cheers,
Neil
