A couple of week-ends ago an eight month old throttle cable broke on 
my car. Frustrating, but I was within walking distance of the TR Shop 
in Chiswick; with so few TR outlets around it seemed I was actually 
lucky. But,the late model PI cable was the only one they were out of 
stock of....ended up coming home on a flatbed.

However, I finally got round to making up & fitting an auxiliary 
bonnet release as per this link:

So simple, so effective. No problem to avoid the steering column on a 
RHD car either, using the remains of a broken cable release....How 
did Triumph miss such a simple solution?
