Thanks for the info! Appreciate it very much. I was hoping the "kit" included a small patch panel, with correct bushing hole, to replace what gets ripped out of the inner fender. Oh well, better to have what's available than nothing at all.
The diagram sparked another issue I'm confronted with....How to remove item #9.
That piece provides security for release cable access, I believe. I don't want to destroy it, but it seems kinda hard to get to....intentionally, of course. Although currently working fine, eventually I'm gonna want to adjust the hood release cable tension. Briefly looked at it when I first got the car and thought I'd "leave well enough alone".
