In Reply to: Hood Release Lever Broke Off! posted by Tony on February 24, 2001 at 19:54:48:


I went to open my hood and the plastic lever just shattered to pieces. I tried to use a pair of pliers to pull on the cable, but I couldn't pull it hard enough to open the hood. Has anyone ever encountered this and does anyone know where to get a new, preferable metal, lever? Or is this a dealer-only job? Thanks for any info.

the lever and the cable are sold as a unit. i repaired the lever on the bormann6 using stainless shelf brackets and 10/32 screws. it took an afternoon,but is still working 4yrs later.
