I'm in the process of installing the air grabber cable that runs from the dash to the right side door arm. I have it mounted to the dash and run thru the firewall, now I need to see how the excess is dealt with. Is it looped on the engine side or tucked inside behind the dash?
I have a factory N96 car, but for some reason the cable was missing when I got the car.
I've lookes at service manuals and resto guides...not much help.

Wondering if someone can post a pic of how their actuator cable looks from the firewall to the hood.

Thanks in advance,
Mike

I would like to know the same.
 
I've googled Air Grabber images, 100's of pictures but not 1 that shows anything up close and detailed.

Anybody????
 
Sorry man...looked at all my books and checked the internet as well...nothing that shows a firewall view, just the cable popping up from behind the air cleaner.....:no:
 
From the "other" board. A '69 hemi GTX (not my car).... That's the airgrabber cable just below the VR.

Thanks EV2 and Crunchy.
Everything I have read says it hooks to the right side door. But I've seen pictures of some hooked up to the left. And like you ran into, EV2, none that show anything close enought to get any detail.

I figure I'll just hook it to the right arm and see where the slack in the cable wants to go...
 
Here ya go. The cable from the fire wall goes on the passenger side where the double retainers are.

Where is crossover cable? Can you take a pic so we have more of a view of routing?
 
Here is a pic of mine, no extra cable outside of the fire wall. The pull cable attaches to the passenger side and is the lower cable. The cross cable is connected at the same point and is the higher cable.

I think the Clips are the same as the ones used on the heater control cables. I found some used ones on ebay.
