[V8] Seat Debris

[Ed Kellock]

Possibly as a form of sympathy, the inside release cable on the driver's
door broke, last night I think actually, but was not noticed until this
morning.  That's what I get for putting in a used part.  The new part went
into the then parts car which is now on to its new owner.

Are these dealer only?  I believe I ordered my last one from a dealer, but I
don't know if I looked for it elsewhere.
