clutch cable, Clutch cable Options

[partwerks]

First, does anyone know the size of the nut that goes on where you adjust the terry cable back by the clutch fork, as my mechanic lost/forgot to put the second nut back on and I plan on getting another one at Ace, but don't recall what size it is.

I put on that delrin pulley on back, but also was wondering if that bolt should also be replaced as maybe it has some wear with a bit of play in it as well??

I adjusted the cable and when the clutch grabs, the pedal is about 2" off the floor board. Is that about the correct distance. If not, do I need to tighten it or loosen it?
After waiting about 5 seconds to put in reverse, it does not grind into gear. Is that any indication?

Double-nutting is more than sufficient. In fact, it is probably less secure to use one normal and one Nyloc nut than to use two regular nuts. Remember, they get tightened against each other.

An M8 nut will thread onto the cable end, BTW, but it will launch itself across the garage when you step on the clutch pedal for the first time... (Good luck to the next renters of that place; the garage probably had a lot of fasteners and stuff scattered around in it!)
