Hello All.....I just purchased a new hood release cable and I'm trying to install it. The part that attaches inside the hood seems pretty straight forward with a metal ball on the end of it to attach to the latch mechanism. But the part that attaches to the handle inside under the dash is just braided cable with no way that I can see to attach it to the handle. Any suggestions? I just purchased the car and the cable under the dash was all frayed and had to be opened previously by yanking on the frayed cable with pliers so I don't know what a working attached cable should look like.
I was thinking of just wrapping the new braided cable around the handle and securing it with metal weights and pliers like on fishing line or something.
Please help...thanks!
