I thought I damaged one of the cable retaining bolts on the lefthand fresh air vent and a closer inspection revealed that I had!

I didn't want to risk it detaching in the future so I decided to replace it. It snapped as soon as I touched it.

The question now was: where the heck do I find a replacement? An internet search and visits to local hardware stores were unfruitful. Then an idea occurred to me and a visit to our local bicycle repair shop produced a suitable part.

I had to enlarge the hole slightly which was really awkward but a curved rattail file got it opened enough.

All done. Cost $2.56 including tax.
