Hood Release Pull Location | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

Finally getting down to some of the minor items in my build.

I'd appreciate seeing pictures showing the specific location of the pull knobs for both the hood release and the engine lid release cables.

Also, if anyone has limit switch specs & mounting for detection of the hand brake lever position, I'd appreciate that info. That switch and a "brake on" warning light are needed for the NJ state safety inspection prior to registration.

Hey Brian, pull this!

Hey Dave, thanks for the really constructive advice. Unfortunately, your pictures didn't attach properly.

There are tubes glassed into the body thru which the cables run. One tube should be sticking out towards the top of the drivers side kick panel for the front hood. The tube for the engine cover sticks out 3 or four inches down from the top of the drivers side B pillar.
For the e-brake light you're gonna have to engineer a generic brake lite switch to the base of the e-brake handle. I would think you could find a switch in the electrical section of any parts store.

A $1 momentary switch will work.
