When I bought my car the hood latch handle was a tiny pair of vise grips. I replaced mine with a stranded cable from a Bicycle shop. While you're at it, run a spare line along side the jacket and leave it hanging up over the gas pedal. <7ibooh$on7-@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Original Article: http://www.egroups.com/group/dmcnews/?start=667 > This is day 10 as a Delorean owner.

Fortunately the latch was stuck in the open position (lucky, lucky, lucky!). I was surprised that the actuating wire is a single strand of wire instead of a multi-strand cable. Is this right or has this part been replaced by a non-std item? > > Thanks for all the great help people have given me over the last few weeks. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroups.com home: http://www.egroups.com/group/dmcnews http://www.egroups.com - Simplifying group communications
