Hey guys are there any sites or companies that make hood release cables for my 79' ? If not, what year Luv's release cables will fit my 79' if I need to look through the local Pick-N-Pull. Also I am missing my passenger side Headlight bezel, what year for single headlights will work and are there any sources for these out there ? Any help would be greatly appreciated...

I could not find one so i went to a motorcycle dealer and got a front brake cable, the original luv release is a hard cable and the cable i bought is a flexible one.I had to enlarge the hole on the hood release mechanism and run the cable on the opposite side ( PASSENGER ) of the original one,then i found a hole in the firewall to route it through and it works like a charm.

Thanks for the help guys. CT- Thanks for the idea, I have a local cycle cable shop who should be able to make something up if I can't find a used or NOS cable. ctmandu- I'm in no hurry at the moment but if I can't find the bezels locally I may have to hit you up. Thanks again

I'd love to see some pictures of it, if it wouldn't be too much trouble. Cheers
