Are you trying to decide to Roy it around the outside of the hood buffer or inside?
I'll grab one when the rain breaks.

I just know the way I have it now doesn't look right. It's coming out of the core support at the fender and across the outside. The little routing do-dad's push into holes somewhere. I'd like to know about where and how it's routed from the firewall to the catch. I assume it's along the fender but a pic is worth a 1000 words as they say. I went through my pictures and can't find one that shows it. These are the problems of taking years to complete a build. It was probably one of the first things to come off.

IIRC, the clips your talking about are only on the core support. They fit into 1/4" or so holes and the clips don't really seem to like being reused. I'll find out shortly for ya.

I normally keep this routed on the outside of that hood buffer on the corner. But IIRC, it should route along the front of the core support, inside the buffer, along the fender and under the battery tray support bracket that bolts the the fender.
You can see all the little round holes. The ones that look like they are countersunk a bit are the anchor points for the little clips. I have my cable over the support bracket here since I put it in last and didn't disconnect it from latch assembly. It works and hasn't bothered anything. Still a lot easier to release than Bruiser's hood.

Good Morning Ya'll.
Whatever you do, just make sure you connect the cable to the hood release correctly.
