    bonnet cable pull

    Can anyone tell me where the bonnet pull cable comes through the bulkhead, does it go into the front wheel arch?

    Comes up between the bonnet hinge and the wing. The cable runs down the top of the inner wing / drip rail, turns 90 degrees towards the front and then runs along the back of the slam panel.

    Re: bonnet cable pull

    Whilst on this subject, mine at early 69 1300 Super has the bonnet pull cable leaver bracket on the passenger's side under the bulkheads, is this normal for this year?

    Or could it be where someone else in it's passed put it by mistake? If correct is it a case of getting a custom cable made up as all the ones I've seen for sale are for levers on drivers side.
