Clutch cable

[sorme]

Any help?running a pinto and I keep going through clutch cables more than I'd like,its due to it running between the manifold,I've heat wrapped the last one but still after near on a year its starting to become hard ( after a run and warm) to get into reverse gear without a clunk!! as the cable stretches. Struggling to find a extra long cable as it's a 82-84  and it's the cable with little T style ends,plenty out there with the eyelet type/ adjustable. Or is there any companies out there that make cables up.

2wd Cosworth Sierra cable.

Quinton Hazel part number is QCC1585

Old idea MAY work -- how about a solid rod to a bell crank & then a short Bowden Cable from bell crank to clutch ???

Give anything a try.

Is this a longer cable ? Found one on Burton power doesn't say if its a bit longer though.

Yes much longer. It can be routed well forwards of the engine and then back to the pedal box / clutch arm.

There's a not brilliant photo a bit down this page:

I recently did mine with this cable, took 2 weeks to arrive but is much better now and was easy to fit.

Sorry to jump on this thread - I have the clutch pedal that has the yellow plastic ratchet mechanism on top, would this cable fit that? 
 

Thanks

Does it look like this racket end? Then  a smaller one clutch end,I've had a couple cables I bought that were wrong,I just assumed classic ford cables would all be the same but there not.
