I have no idea what they are. My replacement options are so limited that I wouldn't even know where to begin.
I haven't done it in a while and I only remember that I had to remove the (left) side panel to access the Getting rid of the panel was the most challenging part of the project. A simple latch change was all it took.
In that case, it will work just fine. Before you can mount this new handle, you will have to scrape off the old handle from the cable shaft. Compared with the original hood release handle, this replacement is made of metal and much more durable.
Even if it worked there's no point because the screws are useless and the product did not last a full day in a

Two screws are needed to attach it, which I appreciate. There are some screws that only have one head. It would have been better if it was Phillips instead of Allen wrench style. I lost Allen wrench twice during the process. A single recovery was made. The Allen wrenches have been dug out. My favorite thing about it is that it's made of metal instead of glued plastic like the original. It should be noted that Original lasted 19 years until 28 degrees below zero and then broke. It was also the first time I had lubricated a It was a good idea to lube the cable and latch after the install was complete. After watching a video on YouTube, I installed the solar panels at 8 degrees above zero outside with my car's Various processes are shown in pictures. I can't say for sure because I didn't feel the Allen screws tighten, and I don't know if the cable was just cut into, yet it works great. We will examine it further when the weather gets warmer. It works well and is a good product.
Taking the time to prepare is essential. What you end up with is the plastic portion of the handle that surrounds the cable after your original handle breaks off. The original handle assembly was probably attached by heat or glue to the top of the handle assembly, which was made as a single unit. If you want to install the replacement handle, you will need to grind down the plastic along the circumference of the cable. To accomplish this task, you can use a rotary tool like a Dremel with a drum sander attachment. A pair of needle nose Vice grips allowed me to grab the cable and pull it out far enough so I could do this. A set screw is located in each corner of the new handle. To tighten them, you will find an Allen Wrench provided. Screws don't seem precise enough to me. This smelter seemed a little rickety to me. In other words, the threading of the handle and screws aren't as good as they Furthermore, they need to be a bit longer than they are now. There was a drop of THREADLOCKER on my finger.
Firstly, I did not have to rebend the entire cable running to the hood release. The second feature is that it is made of METAL instead of plastic, and it uses TWO alen screws for installation on the existing hood release cable. It is plastic release hand on the OEM part that led to the part breaking I found exactly what I was looking for and needed with this item. There's no question about it.
The perfect fix for a broken latch handle on a hood. The cable assembly can be replaced more easily and cheaper than the entire It's made of metal, by the way. The handle was attached by using a torch lighter and razor to soften the plastic and uncover the bare metal where the handle would go. The bolts need to be tightened after the hose is straight. Please find attached a few pictures.
There is a slight difference in size between this replacement and the OEM. In a 96 Civic, it is easier to grip due to the slightly smaller wheels. The vehicle seems to fit well with this accessory. It takes just a few seconds to cut off the remaining plastic stem and then this will fit This reportedly has a life expectancy of four to five years. There is only one concern - the Allen wrench it comes with seems to fit a little loosely.
I think this is a great The installation process is extremely simple. To get rid of the old plastic on the old rod/latch is the hardest part. As for the rest, superb!.
It's a simple install and much better than the plastic one that came with the chassis. Designed and installed in Honda Civic LX 2000. Definitely a good value for the money.
I found the fit to be It will be interesting to see if the tab stays This isn't a part that'll be used very often, so it should be fine. Two set screws will definitely be better for holding the part together.
