New Clutch Cable Price

[Guest FIRSTBUILD]

read loads about the dreaded clutch drag , my situation is I have tried mine for the first time (drags badly) and I think I will try a new cable before messing about with the quadrant - but I have a problem = new cable from Motor Factors £7 plus vat , new cable from Henry Ford £19 plus vat who thinks its worth the extra , dont they get fried any way ?? or is it worth the extra ?

 

(big big buzz movin around the garage under her own power though)

 

 

thanks for any views on this

Go for the factors one. There is a fare chance that it is the same cable (manufacture) only in a different bag.

and get a transit one.....

6 or 7 inches longer means you can get it well away from the hot bits

 

mine cost me 6-40 last week

Many go faster body kit shops, spoilers for Novas type places, sell heat protective foil covered insulating material ready sewn into a tube which can thread neatly over the clutch outer and prevent the exhaust from frying it. You still need to route it as far from the manifold as possible.

www.raldes.co.uk do the protective sleeve. I also lagged the manifold but used a standard cable. Do a search on here. Ant posted up a load of stuff about the transit cable including the part no.

Hi,

 

I got the Cosworth one last week for £11 (local motor factor) and it fits a treat. Much longer to clear the manifold and alternator.

 

No mods needed

Hi guys sorry about bringing up an old threat but I have an issue with my turbo frying the clutch cable. My plan is to go with a heat sleeve however i need a longer cable, i know the cosworth is longer but I have the old cortina pedal box are there any cortina ones that are longer?

not the cheapest, but: http://www.burtonpower.com/clutch-cable-escort-mk2-cosworth-yb-ccescyb2.html

it is what i have fitted.

[dandanfireman]

Thanks Grim thats the kind i'm after. Just found a guy on ebay who'll make you one up to your specs for the same price as the burton one so i reckon i'll measure up and get one to fit just right and put a heat sheathing on it.

 

Thanks
