[s-cars] Hood cable fastener

[Tom Green]

That original plastic clip lasted 20 years or so, I presume, or you probably would have a spare in the glove box?  So that is not good enough?  It certainly has to be better than any of the suggested fixes.  Those may be good enough to keep the cable working while you order replacement clips, but I don’t see them as permanent replacements.

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!
