Restore a Muscle car sells this reproduction kit if you don't mind going that route.

The cable type release setup was first used in a '73 Bird, & with the small original parts often lost, misplaced, it's great deal that they have been reproduced.

The cable style latch is beyond easy find as a used GM part.

That 1973 repop kit is not an exact match by any means but was made to work for 1973 cars which was a 1 year style.

An original 1973 stock set up sold on facebook for over $350 recently. Not easy to find - and expensive when you do. Restore a Musclecar at least has something that works you can get today.

It sold in less then three minutes and was actually bought by Dave Hall of RAMC. I do have another complete set up I think

If anyone has just the cable (with handle etc) I could use one. My cable is frayed and have yet to see if that can be repaired or replaced.

Thanks.
