Pop-up headlight cables.

...I talked with Gary Hall about this (!, yes, it was that long ago) and he mentioned Morse Boat cables as the solution...after almost 30 years, though, I cannot remember the lengths---anybody have a suggestion for left/right lengths ?

For everyone else who didn't get a floor when they got their '70 , here are pictures from '1046...these were replacement cables. The mechanism is basically a parking brake with only 2 positions--Lee

Hi Roger, glad to hear you have a Mangusta in the shop! Here are a few pics of the green cable used on at least some US cars..i THINK a similar/same cable may be found on 246 Dinos, possible for cluch actuation(?) Unfortunately I don't know the US cable length, have only a few old shards laying around, no full cables. Hope this helps, regards, Nate

Hello, It is many moons since I used the forum, and have been reminded of your inputs by a friend. Many thanks for the info...very helpful indeed....we are still working on the car, and this headlight actuation is the biggest problem.....Thanks again.
