70 hood release cable retainer

[Bill L.]

This is the brass barrel that the cable goes through where it attaches to keep the cable in the male latch. I actually have two and they are different lengths. One has a slotted pan head screw and one has hex head screw.

Which one is correct?


Thanks, Bill

I say the slightly shorter one with a zinc plated hex head pinch bolt.

Hi Bill,
I was curious so I looked.
My 71's 'keeper' is a barrel 3/8" long with a phillips type, round head screw.
So, variations?
Regards,
Alan

Well that would be the shorter of the two. I have a hex head bolt too.

Curious to see if anyone else chimes in regarding the screw.

Thanks!
