Guide tube for cable control
Thanks to you Franz and Bob.
I'll be watching this very closely when I'm with the car.
In the meantime here is a photo taken just after stripping.
Do you see anything interesting? (Please, ignore the screw in the red circle)

the one exception was a car t i did not see as a good reference car since it had a massive front fender bender ....it had a bowden cable

Look closely to the inner fender for remaining spot welds and the opening (hole) in the side of the hood latch support, is there any evidence of the tube
being there at one time?
