Thanks for the clarification. Some people get kind of cheap with older cars and are looking for a cheap quick fix (I see it happen on many forums I'm on).

I finally got the new latch Cable in and installed it. I used what was left of the old cable going through the firewall taped it to the new one and used the cable on the other side the firewall to fish it through. Granite through v fender well and then up and around to the latch. I was only able to get two clips on it so I wire tied it in a couple other areas. Seems to be working fine. Thanks again to everyone
