Default Lugs under the tunnel

Hi,

Busy routing cables + hoses at the mo

What are the lugs (2 off) under the tunnel for?
There are two tubes welded to one of the square section beams...

Default Lugs

Hi.

I used them for brake lines and speedo cable, then found that I needed em again for the clutch.

Seriously they are for the clutch cable.

Regards Tomboys

ah ha...i just installed the clutch cable.
looks like the yellow plastic covered section fits b/w the lugs...but it will need cutting to length...?

there was a wire rope grip supplied...i presume this is used at the clutch "arm" end...?

thanks for helping out.

Default Well Done

Hi John,

I know you can shorten the cable but I just found a much smoooother route round to the lever, operates perfectly.

Right again with the grip.

I am having trouble woth my 'stab' brackets at the mo, may need to get them modified slightly....

Good luck with the rest of your build.

Tomboys
