Re: Cable connector to Clutch pedal broken, replacement??

Its the clutch pedal end.

the section arm that links the pedal to the ball on the clutch cable,
can't see one on Just Kampers. Its a 1980 1600ct, converted to a 2.0cu.

Re: CT to CU - clutch cable to hydraulic, what to do?

Thanks for your help folks,

Just read these but already managed to get the lever arms off and swap them over, last thing was to put the spring back around the lever arm and it snapped in half :(

Gonna check online now for a replacement, fingers crossed!

cheers
