Re: 1984 Voltswagen Rabbit Prius Gen 3

That is truly the ugliest bracket I have ever seen in my life. I watched it evolve and am still shocked at its form.

That's the rear inverter to motor cable. That price is very cheap for both cables. Was this listing for just one of the cables and did you get the right one?
