[s-cars] Hood cable fastener

[jim at almgt.com]

Hey all,

Hope the holiday season is treating everyone well!

When opening my hood this afternoon to change the oil, the dreaded “hood release pulls all the way but hood doesn’t open” occurs.  Was able to mess around and open the hood, and sure enough one of the little plastic fasteners that keeps the hood cable close to the front brace is toast.  I seem to remember someone recently looking for a fix for this, but can’t recall the solution.  Besides the factory part, any options from a hardware store or FLAPS?  Thanks!

Best regards,
