Clutch Pedal Modification

[YellaBelly]

Further to my recent thread regarding modding the clutch pedal, I finally got stuck in at the weekend and am quite pleased with the results. A bit of tidying to do then I should be good to go. This now means that I can use a standard Cortina long clutch cable on my type 9 G/B with a Sierra pedal box setup and still have manual adjustment at the G/B end

Good job JB. Dont you just love it when a plan comes together.  A lick of paint and jobs a good one. Or you could get it powder coated in a nice Gloss Black

Cheers Steve!

I would love to get one of those DIY powder coating kits but cannot justify the cost (even if I did have the spare dosh)

I'll give it a couple of coats of Stone Guard and she should be fine.

It's gonna make life so much easier to order a standard cable rather than pay daft money for a bespoke one.

Just need to sort a new brake M/C now. I replaced the seals in my Sierra one and it's OK at the moment, but I don't know whether I can trust it so I'm looking to get a Fiesta one to fit in it's pace as they are supposed to give a better pedal feel anyhow.

Next time you take it off pop it in the post mate and for £5 I will give it the works treatment. 
I must make sure I have a spare cable at the ready before the I start using the Mk very shortly.. Current one broke last year and touch wood its still holding after my DIY repair

What a gentleman you are mate

I may just take you up on that offer

Yep, I've got a spare throttle cable, fan belt and just got to get another clutch cable so at least I'll have a fighting chance if one of them breaks!

Nice mod mate. With any luck now that your carrying spares after your mod hopefully they won't be needed now.

Bl**dy hope so Colin! I built this car to drive not fix!!

mind you, still plenty of mods to do, and if I'm honest, I rather enjoy getting out in the garage again. Once I'd finished the car and got it on the road it seemed like something was missing from my spare time
