�65 hood release adjustment

[Michael G.]

I’m preparing my black ‘65 for PV and its doing fine except for the spring back of the hood release. Its an original bracket and pull that I’ve restored and lubed, and the latches and cable seem to function with no binding. There must be a trick, cause I’ve got bracket to work fine when uninstalled, but it binds when installed.

Any help would be appreciated

Yeah, thanks Mike, hoping to get to Florida with it. I'm sure KC will be vigilant...

Leif, there are two, one on each latch, they create the resistance you feel when you pull the handle.

OK, those two. Thanks Michael. I thought I was missing something i.e. a spring on or near the pull handle or somewhere else. My handle doesn't return on it's own...I have always just pushed it back in. Never knew any different. Can't remember any of my former C2 returning by themselves either. Thanks, again.

loosen the barrel nut on the hood release bowden cable, then slide it back towards firewall till the handle returns to full closed position. if springs strong enough, when hood closes, the handle will fully close. mike mccagh

Thank you Mike. I'll give that simple solution a try. Appreciate your input.
