Hood Release

I'm looking for a hood release cable with a "T" handle that mounts under the dash and has a sheath to protect the cable inside. For some reason I can't find what I'm looking for. Can somebody give me direction?

Take a look at "Hood Release Cable Dorman 912-020". There's a listing on eBay for one now.

Thank you Old Guy. $33.28 from Ebay with free shipping and it's on its way to me right now. When I looked at the Dorman web site, all I could find were vehicle specific cables, so I must have been doing something wrong. They have them at Summit Racing, but they were $45.00 or more.
