some six conversion issues... Options

[meursault]

So I'm test-fitting my engine and transmission in the car right now, and I'm having some problems. Perhaps someone can offer some advice.

Engine is a 2.7 liter, transmission is a 901 pull clutch, mount (for now) is a Patrick Motorsport piece.

Issue #1: supposedly the clutch cable to use is a 72-74 911 unit. The sheath is a little short, though, and making a bracket isn't necessarily easy because part of the crankcase prevents me from having a straight shot. I have an idea of how to do this, but I'm wondering if anyone's done this before. Here's a pic:

I wouldn't be too quick to change over clutches.
It sounds as if you have some kind of linkage problem.

You wrote that Kennedy suggested that the washer
under the T/O arm pivot be removed..did I get that right?

This will give you less adjustment.....I don't know how the stage II set up works (bigger clutch and all) and I'm speculating here, but it seems odd.

When the clutch pedal is fully depressed, does the T/O arm come close to the trans case? If not, you could add a spacer (or a stack of washers) between the adj. nut and pivot wedge thingy (the technical name, me thinks....the Brits would give it a real name...like bollard or sumthin'). This would get you some adjustment at the nut and the clutch pedal off the floor..... if my thinking is correct (a shakey concept) .

If the arm comes close to the trans case, replacing the washer under the T/O pivot is the answer...if it all fits without binding everything up inside the bellhousing......a PITA to even try.

I used the stage I because I feared the clutch linkage would be easily overstressed using something really stout. As I said, it ain't the greatest set-up in the world......the 215mm set up was cheep, also, since I already had the flywheel.
