bonnet(hood) problems

[TOPLINE]

As I opened the bonnet(hood) this morning and as it went over i heard i snaping sound as the bonnet(hood) carried on falling forward looking down i noticed that the two things/cables that stop it from falling forward had snapped
I have looked all over EBAY and sent emails to a load of dealers in the U.S.A but have not recived anything back
so i was wondering does anyone on here know there proper name(the two cables that is)and were i may be able to get a set as i do not know there proper title im not sure the dealers know what i am on about

so any help from the U.S.A,CANADA or even BELGIUM would be very helpful
i have tried diffrent ways to try and copy what the cables do but i must say i am not very good with my hands

anyone help cheers
