Bonnet stuff!

Looking for a bonnet cable and latch set for a pre-facelift 75 Tourer.

It's been really stiff and the housing popped off which led to the bonnet being stuck shut. The garage said they were unable to lubricate it and were happy with me looking for the parts.

No need to be new, as long as they're good! I've found them elsewhere new and I'm sure I can pay less

Cheers

Easy enough to remove and clean yourself. Slam panel off, couple of bolts, remove, clean and lubricate. Also, the 2 bolts either side of the hole in the slam panel shouldn't be overtightened, probably the cause of your problem. Before you do anything, try slackening them off a little
