I've just got a new one for mine, think it was about £7, I got it from my local supplier but believe its a Britpat item.
The handle bit is in the cab, left side of clutch pedal, I've not looked under the bonnet and its chucking it down at the moment |

cheers for the quick reply.
Yeah I've got the new cable mechanism but it didn't come with the small metal bit at the end. I know where the cable is supposed to go in the cab but there's no bracket for it... I think originally they were spot welded on? |

This is where mine fits near the release mechanism, not sure how you would fix it without the 'nipple'

Bolt a piece of angle iron in the place where the original went?

not sure if you got nipple sorted , you could put a small bolt down though the hole in the bonnet latch lever with small hole drilled through it , pass cable through hole and lightly tighten nut against the cable
you used to be able to buy universal cables with a bracket included Last edited by munch90 on 29th Apr 2014 8:16pm. Edited 1 time in total |

Same idea you had on the old pushbike for adjusting the brake cables

You could also use the internal section of an electrical chocky block

So I take it I should fabricate something to go off of the large bolts to the left of the clutch pedal.
Also, I can't see anywhere obvious where the cable is supposed to go through the firewall? Click image to enlarge |

Looks like mine is riveted or welded in place. The cable goes through to the left of the clutch pedal
