I decided to replace the cable that opens the bonnet on the HQ GTS that I purchased 3 years ago, yes 3 years ago that came from Rare Spares with the Rubbers for the Firewall, The 3 Clips that attach the cable on the metal of the car and hold it there (bullshit) and 1/ Although it for a HQ I had the file the hole (where HOOD is lettered on the knob) bigger in the cabin side to hold the end there, yes the hole was too small, 2/ The Rubbers were useless, 3/ THOSE 3 CLIPS were hopeless as they were too thin, Not hardened correctly, bent very easier, and did not clamp the outside of the cable so when you try to open the bonnet the outside of the cable slips and the bonnet does not open.
Question where can you get good one from "eg" like the Original Holden that are just about impossible to remove or slip.
The Photo below show THAT clip that is about 2 inches from the end of the (outside) cable. Yes the one that clips on but this one is useless and allows the outer to slide inwards towards the bolt that locks the bonnet.
