Bonnet release cable-where does it go?
After putting the bits back in the bay I am not convinced that the bonnet release cable is in the same place as before?
Has anyone got a pic of how it runs by the air box or a good description please

Hi Matcos
Have a look at this escort cosworth on ebay, its only done 27k and never been touched, you can see the bonnet release cable quite clearly on this one.

Nick it seems to be a tight bend from the clip on the slam panel to then run alongside the right hand side of the airbox is this right?
I need to change it soon as it is almost impossible to open the bonnet at the moment, I have a new one but want to make sure it is run correctly so it is nice and easy to pull and doesn't break the handle. Again
