This Hood Release Cable Kit is designed for 1981–1991 Full Size Jeeps and includes the three key components needed to restore the factory-style hood release system: the hood release cable, cable bracket, and cable shield.
Original hood release cables can become stiff, stretched, frayed, or difficult to operate after decades of use. When the cable begins to bind or fails completely, opening the hood can become a frustrating and time-consuming problem. Replacing the cable before it breaks is smart preventative maintenance, especially on vehicles that are driven regularly or undergoing restoration.
What makes this kit different is that it does more than replace the cable. The cable bracket and cable shield are exclusive JeepRecyclers.com reproduction parts, built to properly support and protect the cable where it routes along the underside of the hood. Both reproduced metal components are powder coated for a clean, durable finish and long-term corrosion resistance.
The cable bracket mounts to the hood behind the shield and helps secure the cable in the correct position. The cable shield remains visible once installed and protects the cable routing area. Together, these components restore the proper hood-mounted cable support system rather than relying on missing, worn, or improvised original hardware.
Mounting hardware is included.
