54/55 Hood Release cable

[Richard T.]

I'm helping a friend who needs a hood release cable assembly for his 54. It uses the single pull with two cables. Is this part being reproduced? If I need to go original what's the going price these days for a complete unit with knob etc. Rich

Richard, FYI - the repro's are all made by Paragon as far as I know and are not correct. They use a nut behind the dash mount bracket to secure the pull handle to the bracket instead of a press fit. Functionally, the repro's work okay. Corvette Center, Paragon, etc. carry the hood release cable pull assembly. Haven't seen a good one on e-bay in a while. There's somebody back east at Carlisle that restores them, but can't recall his name. Happy New Year, Gary....
