on the old 900's, i used a generic bicycle rear brake cable to replace the broken one. The cable comes with a different nipple at each end. I just cut off the pear-shaped one, thread the now nippleless end from the hood release (using the new cable surround too) to the front of the car. Then I just solder the hook release from the old cable onto the new cable, wrapping some copper wire to hold the hook in place while soldering. Just did another one 3 weeks ago. I always grease and WD40 the cable surround before threading the cable through. Moves as smooth as silk. only costs $5.
