hood cable is broken or has come loose at the latch. Any suggestions other than cutting a hole in a really nice hood.

I'm interested as well since I'm putting a cable latch on my non cable truck. I have all the components and have been thinking of rigging something up to make opening easy in case the cable breaks.

Man, what a great article and video. I don't have my truck at home right now, but going to make me one of these "tools" and keep it in the glove box. I have access to welding wire so will talk my welding guys into a piece, lol.
