Hood Pin Cables

Anyone know where to get just the cables? The plastic tubing on mine is filthy. hmmm...might have just answered my own problem. I could just cut the plastic and shrink wrap some more tubing...

Okay, other than that, I called FRPP and they wanted $110 for the kit. I said I only needed new cables and they said tough sheet.

I think you really have to costomize yourself. Never heard that you can just buy the cables.
