[Bricklin] Hood Latch

[Greg Schroeder]

I purchase a replacement cable a little thicker at 1/32 about 10 feet.  I 
believe the original is 1/64.  I removed the center cable and fed this one 
through.  I added a little grease for the length of the cable sleeve.  After 
going through the passenger side attachment. I looped the remaiing cable 
under the wiper motor and over to the drivers side wheel well (similar to 
the Bricklin article).  I cut the cable where enough length could be outside 
the wheel well.  I used the remaining cable to make a loop around the 
drivers side attachment and used a clamp for the loop then ran the wire to 
where the passengers wire was in the wheel well then used a clamp to connect 
both wires together.  Close the hood and checked the emergency wires by 
pulling on each side and listening for the click.  Worked fine.  Then I 
tested the hood latch handle from the inside.  They both clicked at the same 
time now.  Hopefully the thicker cable is getting a little more pulling 
power on the passenger latch.

Hopefully I am good on this issue with the back up.  Thanks for all the 
emails.
