Hi folks , I’m trying to find the front half of the bonnet cable , the one that attaches to the lock, any one got any ideas ?

It runs under the slam panel on the drivers side, then into the wing area.

Thanks guys, it’s the lower cable itself that I’m looking for, tried all the usual outlets no joy , looks like I’ll have to resort to vow , there was a guy on eBay but he’s out of stock. I’ve bodged mine up with cable ties for now 😀
