Well my fairly new ...not used very much hood release cable broke, luckily when I replaced this one ,I tied some wire to the latch as a back-up. its a PITA when its closed and no cable to pull. I purchased my last one from DADS...Engine Machine Service...I went to there website and there were some categories to click on, but nothing there....does anybody know if DAD is still in business or a reliable replacement for our hood release cables. thanks.
