How can I extend the hood latch cable? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hi Zilvians.

I want to relocate my hood latch release, which would require extending the cable.

Does anyone know how I can extend the cable? I couldn't find any write ups on it.
Thanks

Bicycle shops sometimes sell cable extenders. Kind of clamps to the end and adds more length.

Find a longer cable.
Have the current cable swaged.
look up swaging or swaging tool
