Hood Release Cable

[porschenut]

Has anybody bought one of these lately, for an '86-89? - Hood Release Cable

I need to know whether or not the cable comes with the exterior sheath. That is, the black rubber-coated giant piano wire that the hood cable rides inside of. I believe it's called a Bowden cable. I know that for some years, the cable does not include the piano wire sheath. Can anyone confirm whether this part will come with it if I order it? Thx.

The one for my 1973 did not. I wish I had known before I ordered it.

If you can wait, why not call PP in the AM?

OT: I admire Wayne on his work and family ethic not to open after hours or weekends. But sometimes I wish they were open for us weekend wrenches. :-) But don't change Wayne, I would hate for you to sell out to a Chevy aftermarket distributor :-( or to India for that matter? I'd never call.

After reviewing a few "intense" posts.

I intend to install a backup release cable, and route it out under the front bumper.

Yep, I will. But the phone jockeys usually don't know what's in a box or a bag unless they've had to research the particular part before. I've asked about parts more than once and been given incorrect answers. I was hoping someone here has actually bought one and can tell me with certainty exactly what I'm gonna get.

Oh no they are or most all are 911 DIYers so they will know. Ask for Jason

I have not ordered or replaced the specific cable in question but I've done the rear and ordered it from Pelican. The cable I received did not have the black plastic sheath, which was O.K. for my application, as I was just replacing the cable itself. I do remember that there were options to have with or without handle attached.

For most of my questions relating to PP and their website, I simple send an e-mail and someone responds almost immediately with the questions answered.
