C1 1958-1962 Corvette Hood Release Cable Assembly Retainer Nut

1958–1962 Chevrolet Corvette Hood Release Cable Assembly Retainer Nut

Restore proper hood release operation and secure cable mounting with this 1958–1962 Chevrolet Corvette Hood Release Cable Assembly Retainer Nut. Designed specifically for C1 Corvettes, this reproduction fastener ensures the hood release cable assembly is properly secured to the dash or mounting bracket.

The hood release system is a key component of the Corvette’s front hood latch mechanism, allowing safe and reliable access to the engine compartment. This Corvette retainer nut is used to secure the hood release cable housing in place, preventing movement and ensuring smooth cable operation when opening the hood.

Engineered to replicate original factory specifications, this nut provides the correct thread size and fitment required for proper installation. It helps maintain alignment of the cable assembly, ensuring consistent engagement with the hood latch mechanism.

A properly secured cable is essential for reliable operation. If the cable housing becomes loose, it can reduce pulling force, cause misalignment, or lead to difficulty opening the hood.

Constructed from durable steel with an OEM-style finish, this reproduction retainer nut is designed to withstand vibration and repeated use while maintaining secure attachment. It is ideal for Corvette restoration projects, hood release repairs, or replacing missing or damaged hardware.

Designed as a direct-fit replacement, this component installs easily using factory mounting locations with no modifications required.
