Broken Hood release cable fix?

Fortunately, the cable broke after letting the hood open one last time so that i was able to jury rig a temporary pull to open the hood.

When I pull on the release, I get no movement from the cable so I assume it's broken. However, pulling on the latch end, I get no movement either. I found one cable clamp near the front, according to Betleys, there should be another one some where that I can't find.

Where's the other clamp? And it is then as easy as pulling the old cable into the car? How about getting the new one back through?

Tips Appreciated

Thanks in advance,
Tom
