Greetings All
I find myself in possession of another Z, this one's quite special. Its HLS30 00137 . As I am discovering, there are uniquenesses to this old girl that I'm just learning about (thanks Carl B.). Clear no-defroster glass, rubber mats, AM radio! Amazing!
As I dig through it beginning to bring it back to life, I ran across something I haven't seen before. Both the hood release cable and speedo cable are currently run through (what I know on my 73) is the speedo cable hole in the firewall.
What is curious, is that there appears to be no separate hole for the hood release cable as there is on my 73. The grommet on the speedo cable is there, it has a single centered hole that the speedo cable passes through, but is not in its firewall hole at the moment. The hood release cable is just stuck throught the same hole, beside the grommet.
So am I correct in perhaps saying the "correct" grommet has 2 holes, and that the speedo cable has been replaced, and came with the later style single hole grommet, leaving who-ever did the replacement with the current arrangement? There isn't some other secret way to route the hood release cable is there? I'm most interested in getting the right grommet if thats the secret and doing it right.
Thanks the help, I know there will be more questions to ask later.
