Hi all

After some technical advice I am building a swb buggy and having trouble with the clutch cable I have used the standard cable shortening kit for the throttle and handbrake but does not seem strong enough for the clutch?

Has anyone here have any other solutions?

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, another vote for speedy cables from me.

I think Peter made a good bit of kit for cable shortening for the clutch actually.......not sure if he is making anymore....

The standard empi type shortening kits are best in the bin. Speedy cables are the way to go but you can shorten a cable using rope clamps, cut and overlap or loop the cable  best used in three's but two will do the job used them for years on swb.

Just seen this....

Yes I have, as Ben said, just I really dont have the leeway to do things at the moment. Hey Ho!

This was the idea though.... It works amazingly well  ;-)up
