ZT bonnet cable

Craig · 7th July 2014, 09:24

Good morning all.

A friend and I encountered the famous "bonnet won't open" scenario first hand this weekend. When we managed to get it open, we found this (at the end of the cable from bonnet release to coupler):

Does this call for replacement of the whole cable, or can the plastic bit that has broken be changed?

Whole cable needs changing when that happens.

Thanks, Andy. I thought that would be the case.

Any thoughts as to the best source for a replacement?
