[solved] Photo Needed - Connection of 240 Bonnet Cable to Release Mechanism

gregp

Help Needed! I’ve just snapped the bonnet release cable on my 1985 240 sedan. In order to undertake a repair, would anyone have a photo of how the cable end connects to the release mechanism mounted under the radiator support panel?

Any assistance received greatly appreciated.

Cheers Greg

have a look in the articles section, there was a great article on maintaining the bonnet latch cam to prevent the common (on a 240) cable breaking. pretty sure it had pictures.

Glad the article was of use. That cam set-up is only used on the RH drive cars, and is often neglected when lubricating the bonnet catch and hinges since it's so hard to get at unless you remove the grille. Happy motoring!
