do the electrical connector mod on the accel cable that should take the slack up and is the clutch engaging or not? if you need to pack it out you can use some big washers on the clutch arm just cut a slot in them so they can slide over the cable

i had a look through it last night still no go on the clutch but the accelerator is done garage picks it up at 1 hopefuly pick it up friday morning thanks for the pictures and advice if i had more time i would do it myself but no choice but to spend the money no but at least it will be on the road again.

clutch is done waiting for the mechanic to show i thought i woulld have anoother look. and saw a jubliee clip hiding round the back of the cable kinda gap filling took this out and it made the clutch non existant pedal went straight to the floor. so i got some old washers groung out a gap in the side fitted them onto the cable and it works great needs a couple more to be perfect. so im going to get a new cable as this one on it must be the wrong one or has been stretched somehow. but its working now im so happy .

good work my man

i did the same as IANMM with my universal cable except mine was to fit the b18ft, good idea using then electrical connectors.

[robbie506]

cable snaped

was half expecting something to go wrong so its now getting a new one fitted today.
