I have tried covering my clutch cable wheel and cable several different ways but nothing great....just changed my cable and it seems a shame to leave it out in the open like it is.....any good ideas to keep the road grit out? I think Mikey should be working on this but who am to say? Welcome ideas and it just makes sense to protect this vital area from contamination.....thank you for your thoughts,,,,

.....any good ideas to keep the road grit out? I printed a cover a while back but didn't mount it. I tried some clips but they didn't hold it on. Probably should have just used some tiewraps. Here's what it looks like now. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Here's what it looks like now. As much as I think it's a solution seeking a problem, that is great design work and you have at least one interested customer! Great job! I wish I had more time to play . . . Is that done in Inventor? Axis and the way planes are notated look familiar. Maybe some other AutoDesk product? |

Is that done in Inventor? Axis and the way planes are notated look familiar. Maybe some other AutoDesk product? Well... I know our cars are too precious to dare drive them on gravel roads now, but back in the day, I drove mine several miles on dirt roads on my daily work commute. The combo of that open cable wheel and an aging, leaking engine were a constant headache and perpetual frayed cables. Now that my resto is soon to be on the road again, and the fact that I have 3 miles of dirt road between my house and the nearest pavement, YES, I'm interested in a good cover. |
