Any secrets to getting a hood open when the handle breaks off?
Where did the cable break, Inside the cabin or out farther ? Some have pulled the headlight assm and pulled the connecting wire over from there to unlatch.
Ryan, i have the cable from my 94 hanging in garage your welcome to.. could drop in mail tomorrow if it helps ya out.
You don't need to remove the fibreglass header.

Okay, so you'll have to remove the headlight for the horizontal bolt. I got the vertical bolts out with a long ratchet extension from below.
That didn't work. I took out the headlight housing and you still can't get up there. Looks like I'm cutting the cable behind under the dash.
There are only 4 bolts holding the entire fiberglass nose piece to the fenders, then disconnect the lights-harness connectors.
The nose piece is also held to the radiator support. I can't get to those.
I dread the day I loose mine on my 85. The outer cable jacket is toast on my 85.
