Can someone please confirm if this is the correct routing for the frunk release cable? 1970 914-6 if it matters.

It is the same path as the old one, but it was broken and appeared to short. I wonder if it had been re-routed.

The frunk release cable and sheath kit I got appears too long. The white sheath by about 4 inches. The cable by about 24 inches. Are they intentionally oversized and meant to be trimmed?

Just let me know if you need more. 1972 4 cylinder

Can't comment on the 6 v 4 issue. I did route mine to the outside of the headlight drain tube, fender side, not frunk side. Mine was just right for both the cable and sheath after a little tweaking, getting the sheath in the hold downs and pulling the slack out of the cable and then retighten it a time or two after use.

I'll go take pictures of my '70 factory 6 tomorrow if you want. As far as I remember, the housing/tube/cable have never been out of the car.
If I recall, looks a lot like Shivers

Photos were very helpful. Thank you! I think I missed routing to the small hole near the front of the driver's fender. That took up some of the excess length in the sheath.

I still have about 20 inches of extra length in the cable. I guess I'll just trim it off?


I would welcome photos from a '70 6. I notice that some of the body panels are slightly different from the later model 4.

Here you go. From the bulkhead to the latch.

Super helpful. Thanks for taking time to post these.

I was tempted to route behind that vertical tube underneath the headlight, but I see yours is not.

What is the correct route and / or bend for the end of the wire at the latch? I tried searching the forum and some Google image searches, but couldn't find an example.

Yea, I really should clean it up. Looks like just snip the cable with a little excess.
