Gas Door Failure Reply #4 – December 28, 2018, 08:40:56 AM This is how I fixed my dilemma for under four dollars.I bought a 1/16" cable around 20" long and the garage hardware at the local Ace hardware store. Quote Selected
Gas Door Failure Reply #5 – December 28, 2018, 08:48:08 AM I really wanted the plastic coated cable but couldn't find any.Measured the old plastic cord against the cable and added an inch and clamped the hardware to the cable.Used my Dremel to grind down the stop end to fit inside the plastic part.Works good and the cable will probably outlast the car. lol Quote Selected
