Anyone know where I can get one of these....

...Spent a while today removing the bonnet catch "springs" from the front apron, then went onto removing the bonnet release cable. On the very end of the cable is a cone shaped end piece with a tapping screw to hold the cable from sliding back through the O/S spring. On removal the screw sheared off...and the cone shaped bit which has the wire running through it has the wire "welded" in to it with rust so a new part is required ....any ideas or links please? ( Audi 80 Sport, B2 )

would this be the same as whats used on B4 cars? if so ive probably got one

Thanks Shaun and Mark, but have now splashed out over £20 for that part from classicquattro. Wouldn't mind so much if I had a UR quattro but.... for a humble 80 Sport it's a lot of dosh. Bloody thing has so much rust everywhere it's costing a fortune in penetrating oil !! The smaller stuff just sheers/breaks.

You will be like me now Frank forever hearing Pshht from using penetrating oil that much

And does your mug of tea slip out of your hand yet

Frank keep going my friend. Walk away for a week if you have to. Look on it as a holiday exercise not a job. No one's timing you here, we all know what bastards these fecking things are. A mistress would be easier to handle....... ( open discussion)

Quick and cheap fix is a bycycle brake cable cllip if you not bothered about orginality.

Tried that, got the "T" shirt a couple of times which is why I am now such a poor pensioner! Words like "some people never learn" spring to mind.....

One advantage of old age is that the temptation tempered by realisation makes that option a non starter!!

Thanks for the kind advice Steev !!
