Re: In cab hood release
Ok...I ordered a new lever type cable from Watson's last Friday.
This past weekend, I took the hood release apart, put some cable lube in the cable and lubed up the latch itself. I also noticed that the hole in the lever that I added to the latch didn't line up very well with the upright part that I built...so I drilled a new hole. I also shortened the cable a bit. I also relaxed the tension on the spring a little bit. It is now working pretty smoothly.
I will keep the new cable and use it when this one breaks or quits working.
