1946 Dodge business coupe

[Floydflathead]

Need some parts.   Car had been sitting,  probably decades now.   Could not get the hood open, the pull cable was completely fused and pb blaster didn't work.   Latches also almost stuck together like asphalt from old grease.   Finally got it apart,  but cables are broken and I need good used or NOS if anyone knows where (I know,  dream on) 

Here's sine pictures of broken cable got one pair of latches repaired and cleaned will grease tomorrow and install. I'll see if I can rig some kind of pull wire for now. 

 

Also,  doors don't work.   Trying to take latch out.  Can't see how to get lock cylinder loose so I can get latch out.  Any help on that is appreciated.

Sorry I don't have any pictures for you but on my car and a parts car I use the lock set is removed by folding back the rubber seal on the edge of the door and there is an access hole there. Cannot remember slot or philips head needed inside that access port.  Have fun with your project. It looks well worth it. I know there was a thread a few months back about a broken hood latch cable and one of the members showed how they created a second pull cable handle under the left front fender and that way if one broke he had a secondary access. Good idea.
