Re: [doc] Bonnet/hood Locked, Cable Broke cannot get in - HELP!

["Mike Bosworth" <mike.bosworth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

-If you need to replace the actual cable a standard bike brake cable 
is all thats needed :) ....mine was off a bmx, just thread the cable 
through the existing external black sleeving..
