[s-cars] Hood cable fastener

[Robin Stoddard]

I would think that something could be machined / McGyver'd that would work?  
I have some time over the holidays and have always wanted to deal with that and so I’ll let you know if I come up with something that works.

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!
