Clutch cable - second try

My second attempt with the clutch cable. The bracket is now lined up square so the cable is in line as it emerges from the outer into the pedal box. I also decided to open up the slot in the pedal box and fit the large round grommet which comes with the cable:

The route under the plenum & in front of the engine mount isn't great though - I would really prefer to run it behind the engine mount (bottom of picture) but its not quite long enough:

Its really hard to see from other builds the best way to do this; its just not feeling quite right at the moment - left or right of the chassis tube, infront or around the engine mount...

The current cable is 36" long (inner) and 32" outer. A 37" cable would be perfect - if I can work out where to get one.

Consulting RHOCar & thinking on it...

Confirmed this routing is correct - just needs some cable ties to hold it in place.

There is also an option to notch the bell housing to allow the locking nuts to sit either side, I might do that in due course - alternatively - a cut through a nut would allow it to slip on the threaded end to the same effect.
