I thought I should ask before I button up my floors...
I have built new clutch cable and accelerator tubes in my center tunnel. I ran the tubes maybe 4-6" further towards the front of the car than the originals. It seemed like it might be easier to feed the cables that way. Is this okay, or should I cut them back to the normal length? Also, about how far should they poke through the rear firewall? Do they need to point straight to the rear of the car, or are they supposed to be angled? My original firewall was really mangled around the clutch and accelerator tube area, so I don't have a good reference for how the factory did it. TIA |

TIA Adding length to the tube inside the tunnel may be looking for trouble. Not saying it won't work but why chance it. Not easy to repair later. A little extra length in the rear while welding in place is OK. You can cut it later. Be sure to trial fit the cables in the tubes before buttoning up everything. You may find the cable end won't push through some bends you have made. |
