Hood Pin Cable
« on: June 08, 2011 - 08:08:53 AM »
Hello! I am about to attach my hood pin cable to the fender and am wondering if there is a specific loation, or if someone has an original that they can give me the measurments from.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wavingflag: :wavingflag: :wavingflag: :wavingflag: :wavingflag: :wavingflag:

I have the hold for the Pin itself, but I didn't see one for the cable. I have repo fenders by the way.

I have a challenger. I didn't know cuda's had a different set up. I guess it makes sence because the challenger's don't have a header and there for the fenders go all the way to the front.

I don't know if it's "correct" or not but I used existing holes that were on the rad saddle. There are also existing holes below the pin holes too?

Cool! That's what I needed. I wanted to make sure the cables were the correct length when the hood was closed.
