Bonnet release cable mk1

Post by Manalishi » Mon Sep 24, 2018 5:09 pm

Hi folks,
so it seems I need a new bonnet release cable. Is it the same for LHD and RHD? Is it the same for Mk1 och Mk2?
Shoot away with your knowledge!

Cheers!

Given the distance that it has to travel, I'd expect both to be the same

Thanks Richard, seems logical! Gunnar has promised to take the cables of his scrap 820 coupe and once I know I will report back!

Given the bonnet catches and release lever are the same and the distance (one long, one short cable) for both is the same regardless then they should fit. If it comes to it, you could also fit the later release lever if you don't already have it (Gunnar might think of that and remove the release lever at the same time) if for some reason the cables don't fit the older type release lever.

Rimmers only sell the long ones now and recommend using the long one for both long and short! :shock:

When you remove your old ones, tie a piece of string or similar to each one before you pull it out of the passenger compartment, it will make fitting the replacements much easier! Also be aware you may need to remove the wing for access to where the cables go through the grommet on the inner wing. :wink: :D
Cheers,
Dave

That's ok Gunnar, I only need the cables, pretty sure I can make something out of them. :D
